Euh... have you ever tried to maintain a *large* CVS repository with LOTS of
activity on it? Heh. Why do you think CollabNet has been sponsoring
Subversion development? :-)

I've seen CVS knock over a box. Took the whole damn thing down. I don't
think we had to send somebody physically to the box, but we did have to
reboot the darned thing. CVS consumed all available memory and the swap. It
came to a screaming halt.

And don't get me started on stale CVS locks...
