Hello,
conversion of existing CVS repositories to Subversion is not on your list
of questions. Several major well-known projects have converted from CVS
to Subversion, and I'm sure that their experiences in this are relevant to you.
There will be issues ranging from converting the CVS repository to change
committers view a repository.
Subversion has been around for some time, and has proved itself to be of very
good quality. It's only very recently that several high-profile projects has
switched to Subversion: They would never have switched if they for a moment
believed that they may loose some data. Now, Subversion has it's oddities,
like any software. Memory usage on client side is one of them, though that has
improved.
