When you consider moving to SVN, you need to take the following into account:
If you are behind a firewall, and the firewall does not allow DAV access you won't be able to access the source repository. This issue can be resolved if the SVN server allows traffic on a port besides port 80, most SVN servers allow traffic on port 81 to help with this issue. Right now, the Apache SVN repository only allows traffic on port 80, so this is a problem. If you use Eclipse as your CVS client, you might want to check out the equivalent for SVN, last I checked the tool was not as mature. You can get around this issue by using the excellent TortoiseSVN tool, unless of course you are a command line junkie, in which case you will right at home with the stock tools. +0: non-binding (I would wait until the Apache infrastructure matures and the Eclipse tools mature.) By the way, is there an Apache mailling regarding the Infrastructure that I could petition for an extra port opening for the SVN server?
