Ummm... that argument is just void.

First, CVS is dead and only kept working for a limited  time.  Please
use  GIT  instead.  GIT inherently supports HTTP transfers so I guess
you should be able to access the GIT repository just fine.

Second, the documentation clearly explains how  to  use  the  cvsgrab
tool  (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootVersions) to tunnel
CVS through HTTP protocol; again, this should work fine even for  you
behind your restrictive firewall.

Third, you should be in a position to  explain  your  network  admins
that  their role is to enable you to get some work done, not to block
you. They are servants of your company, not Gods.

You will need to use GIT anyway to get  access  to  the  testing-NAND
branch.  Any  patches against the current NAND code will just be lost
when we merge that branch back into the trunk.

Best regards,
