The other thing to note about svn vs cvs is that whereas many cvs users use "cvs update" to get a status of the files in their repositories (which ones are modified, etc...), this really isn't a good thing to do all the time since it also pulls updated files out of the repository. Unfortunately, the "cvs status" command can be very confusing (which is why most people use update instead). In subversion, this is now fixed and users should use "svn status" to get a idea of which files have been modified, need updating, etc.. It gives the same type of display that cvs update gives, but without pulling new files from the repository (use "svn update" to do that, just like with cvs).
