Would you like to be more specific? As far as I know, Subversion's
merging ability is a superset's of CVS. Neither system can track
repeated merges or has various "smart" merging features. But there's
no merge CVS can do that Subversion can't. And most of the time,
Subversion makes it easier.
(I've gotten spoiled, in fact. It kills me whenever I need to merge a
change in CVS. I find it really irritating. :-) )
