If you use a separate master toplevel.git, that could indeed be done now
[*] before any of the projects using the src repository change to non-CVS
systems. To start with you'd need scripts to copy from it to GCC and src,
with further scripts for copying to new non-CVS repositories split out
from src being added later when those further new repositories are set up.
[*] At any time when the shared files and directories are in sync between
GCC and src; right now they aren't.
