Interesting. From the beginning, our goal has always been to take over
the CVS user base... based on the assumption, of course, that most
open-source projects use nothing but CVS. But it sounds like there's a
whole separate base of people still using RCS in government, academia,
or research. (Wasn't that what CVS was trying to replace?) Maybe
someone should start an rcs2svn project.
