Re: CVS & Subversion evaluation

I just recently made the switch from Visual SourceSafe to SubVersion, but
have used CVS from time to time when working with open-source projects.

SVN has a few weird quirks - there does not appear to be a simple way to
make a non-working-copy-directory into a working-copy-directory aside from
doing a checkout, for example.

However, I have found it to be superior to CVS in the following ways:

  1) Feature-set - ability to version meta data, names, deletes, etc.
  2) Speed - ability to only send diffs during checkin
  3) Extensibility - properties and hooks are available for you to
     build in event handling mechanisms.

All in all, I'm quite impressed with SVN so far.
