Becuase only about 10 people out of a 1000 or so will use any bridge to anywhere. We need to keep our fast development for php-src, pecl, pear and docs running while improving our development process at the same time. So far we didn't upgrade anywhere because non of the tools did offer any real advantage for us - PHP. Subversion is the only one that is not 10 or a 100 times more complex. In fact for 99% of our repository users the change will limit to a one time checkout where a dirrerent repository name, uri or whatever they will name it is being used and when having to type svn instead of cvs. And as always one should address the 99% and not the 1%. At leat I for one would prefer not to loose too many contributers along the way. Either way with subversion 1.5 we get not only general svn support for transactions and moving but also merge tracking. Personally the killer feature here is transactions. And I don't think I have to explain why. But whatever, no other tool is able to provide what we want while being mature and working on all platforms at the same timr. This thread again shows the PHP development. A few people wanting to help and endless amounts of people needing to mail anything they ever thought of.
