That may be true for ClearCase and other commercial RCSs, but it is
definitely not true for Subversion, which intends to replace CVS in the
open source world. I think you're in the minority here.
The pristine text base is a real advantage for me. Even though my
connection to the server is almost always on, the speed advantage of
"svn diff" over "cvs diff" is noticeable and I run that command frequently.
