I'm all +1 on moving our repositories forward, but I've got used to some of the nice tools surrounding SVN that I don't want to miss. And then there is the question of things like maven supporting SVN just as well as CVS. For bk there is some sort of CVS compatible read-only view into the

One of the previous concerns was tool support. Since then, we have SVN capability in ViewCVS, and there is also an SVN plugin for Eclipse and IDEA, and several GUIs. SVN itself has been stable for a long while; the only real concern [for the ASF] is the related tool support. For Maven

FWIW, Subversion is working quite well for us in a Corporate Intranet. Blending modules for content management (that can be edited in WYSIWYG form, either in-situ or in off-line modes) and others for code make it a very compelling replacement for CVS at the project level, and Wikis at the

As for CVS logs, they are rather ephemeral things in my experience. Whenever a file is renamed/repackaged, the history is lost. Sometimes CVS modules are re-imported (as with Avalon, and xml-cocoon - cocoon-2.1) and everything is lost. This isn't necessary, it is possible to keep histories

I don't know whether this was a symptom, a remedy, or a cause. Isn't the fact these tags needed to be removed some telltale? I'm just wondering, since you seem to advocate this as a good community pattern. I fully admit that I suggested it after seeing what was going on in Avalon, and no one
