Todd, There are so many books at the local bookstore on CVS I think this partly explains it. Also CVS is not the toy of the month so all the people who are just playing with SCM for the sake of playing (not working in a company where it really needs to work/100s of users) are using other 'flavour of the month' tools.
Finally I think it also is because more software development is done on windows where GUI tools from Eclipse to WinCVS are the 'end user experience' and they help guide the everyday user, so questions on info-cvs are more about servers than clients. Its all just speculation though. It'd be intersting to correlate download stats for the same period - except of course that a lot of people obtain CVS not from the gnu web site but from a linux distribution or whatever.
