Thats fine with me,
but even for all the money in the world I personaly would not go "back" to
cvs,
the main things are:

- subversion _never_ changes your files "automagicly" unless you explicitly
allow it (add keywords)
- exelect binary file support
- transaction safe database backend
- versioning of file/directoy strukture and permissions (symlinks /
exectualble / svn removes file sno longer used in the projekt! )
- (cheap copies, ..)

But if you are more used to the CVS way of branching and tagging,
you should probably wait a bit until subversion/subclipse emulates this
behaviour.

Have fun, and we'll see you around later then :-)
