So basically subversion is great so long as you like the command line. I don't object to the fundamental idea of a better CVS (I've not used it enough to find any problems with CVS that need fixing). But to use it here, excludes users and developers who are GUI based, either through a tool (Eclipse) or specific tool (ViewCVS). Let me be clear, if a-c adopts subversion, and there is no Eclipse client, I will -1 any j-c to a-c move. CVS is the widely accepted standard - there really needs to be an absolutely compelling reason to change.
