RE: Reliability: CVS vs. SVN

Myself and another developer have been supporting about 3/4 Gig of
source/data across 8 repositories for two months now and we have yet to
encounter any corruption of the database. (We did have a easily fixable
locking problem due to how we were backing up the repositories). We are
using the Berkeley DB as the back end, not the FS store.

My experience is that invalid states of some kind happens about as often
with CVS or SVN (though usually on the client side) BUT you know about it
almost instantly with SVN and have an easy time fixing it.

It happened even less with ClearCase for me, but when it got confused,
recovery was not an option.

When using svnserve, is it then possible corrupt the repository?

Question2:

Is it more easy to corrupt a SVN repository than a CVS repository?
