The reason for studying it is that I have a large CVS project, which requires SSH access over the net to a remote server where it takes 10 minutes to do all the "cvs update" operations. People are nagging about that, i.e. I needed to see of e.g. Subversion is faster or not. > I've never seen an analysis of SCM implementation cost / benefit that > indicated that the performance of a system affected the implementation > cost or the benefit to the organisation or people using it.

Subversion has some good properties (by design) so it is obvious to analyse that. Also thanx to Michael Haggerty - I can comment later on his postning.
