The philosophical difference between CVS and SVN is the idea of changesets.
In CVS it is not possible, except thru elaborate tagging, to associate a
set of changes of multiple files to a single idea. Axiom uses changesets
in arch as a substitute for tagging. However it would make more sense to
use changesets in svn since it would make it possible to apply a single
change to many files (eg, to update all the makefiles for one global change).
this change might add a feature and be completely independent of every other
change even though it changes multiple files. Limiting commits to one file
at a time makes SVN equivalent to CVS.
