My biggest plus was the "ease of use" aspect: I've never successfully set up a CVS pserver with access from outside the machine, while with Subversion, it was pretty simple. (I'm not sure how hard it is in general, but Gentoo made installing it easy.) I don't have a lot of experience with anything in subversion or CVS beyond the "check in, check out, review history" aspects. The only thing that I care about is how much work I have to put into it to make it work, and that was pretty small with Subversion, where it didn't seem to be for CVS. -- Christopher Schmidt
