A similar topic was just discussed earlier this week, Subversion vs.
Perforce. Specifically for SVN vs. CVS, have a look at
http://www.pushok.com/soft_svn_vscvs.php

There's also "Subversion vs. <insert product of choice here>", at
http://www.szabgab.com/subversion_vs_xyz.html

A shortish blog post:
http://www.joestump.net/913108051/subversion-vs-cvs-review.html

There have been numerous threads on the subject on this mailing list,
I'm sure. A simple Google search for "Subversion vs. CVS" turns up
over a half-million hits.
