"Fair" summary? I beg to differ! ;-)

Perhaps you could be so kind as to explain some use cases that CVS
supports that SVN does not? I for one would like to know what I've
lost my migrating, and I'm sure the SVN development team would love
to add to their list of future enhancements.

Of course we'd have to turn off some of SVN's primitives (versioned
file moves, versioned directory operations) since a true "CVS
replacement" wouldn't be allowed to provide any of those operations.
;-)

Cheers,
Peter
