Yeah we did a poll within IT at LSU, while CVS is liked the request
ended up for subversion to be installed for our repository.
Everything I've seen says it is a much better replacement but then
again there is a lot of "advice" on the topic. So I would recommend
seeing how well it fits with your technical needs (ie does it
integrate smoothly with your IDE, etc).
I personnally have enjoyed reading up on GIT which became the
replacement version control system for the Linux kernel when all the
bitkeeper debate hit the fan. Seems to be growing in popularity but
for realistic use on a corporate level its gonna be a while.

Seriously, I have simply had a good experience with using SubVersion,
being someone who hadn't used repositories a lot before. CVS always
used to piss me off with their own url structure ala
"PSERVER:someaddres:someplace:somehow" and subversions was straight
forward depending upon your implimentation. http://myserver/svn/
myrepo
got me exactly what I wanted. I've also used the stand alone server
svn://joelshomeserver/svn/myproject for things.
But like anything, I agree with Brian that it is pointless to argue
over. Use whatever fits you best. I can simply say why I like
subversion. It's like people who want me to convince them to use
linux
instead of windows, which I used to get hooked by. Now I just say, if
you want to use linux, I'll be happy to explain things and help. If,
not, then enjoy whatever you're using.
That's my 1/50th of a dollar.

CVS vs Any other versioning software is one of those topics like "VI

A client of mine needs a way to set up some sort of Java
code repository. Coders that work on a project update the
code tree, and then he (as the sysadmin) can checkout the

something get hosed, he can quickly revert back to the
original code.
Is CVS where I should be looking? Or is there something
else I should be looking at?
