Well, there is one additional (minor) problem with CVS.
It doesn't handle time zones correctly. After each switch to/from daylight
saving time the whole source tree is pulled over the net again.
Even more, the time zone handling between different implementations
is different: If one checkes out using the windows command line client,
and after that updated using Wincvs or the Eclipse plugin, the same effect
happens: It updates the whole source tree, though no change occured.
Subversion uses standardized time zone handling routines in common
libraries for all clients, so this problem doesn't occure.
