I'd like to convert the CVS repository to Subversion for many reasons,
starting with the fact that Subversion handles branching and tagging
as copies. This is far easier to deal with especially in terms of
merging changes. Subversion brings many, many benefits beyond CVS
including:
- atomic commits
- versioned folders
- versioned file/directory metadata
- when a file/directory is moved, history is not lost
- offline diffs
- much faster over the wire becuase less info is transmitted
- no special handling required for binary files
- use HTTP which can traverse firewalls
Subversion has so many improvements beyond CVS and that I simply can't
list them all. The good thing is that all the commands in Subversion
match those of CVS. Also, converting the CVS repository to Subversion
will preserve all history so nothing will be lost. I'd like to start
on this very soon, so let's get the discussion on this topic moving.
