I couldn't agee more. And I know that whinning for features can become
frustrating, but the ability to correctly handle moves will really put
SVN on a different league. Up to the point you start handling merges
correctly (without "flattening" their semantics), you 're little more
than a fancy source-code database. When you start doing it properly,
only then you really become a first-class revision-control system.

Regardless, I feel indebted to the SVN developers who saved me (and
countless others, I'm sure) from having to bare with CVS.
