What I'm missing are reasons _against_ going to Subversion (aka
upgrading to CVS 2.0 instead of sticking with 1.0), that is, what one
would loose over CVS (I think the gains are known).
I fully agree with your statement above, but since this won't be
sorted out in the next 12 months (probably not in the next 36 months)
I find it rather weird to wait such a long time with a relatively
minor upgrade. And even worse, it might even result in the same
choice :-)
Well, there are two reasons which I heard in the discussion:
a) there is no Svn admin support on GNU servers
b) Svn is not a viable option for GNU projects due to licensing
issues (is this
really true?)
Personally I have no issues with either of them, but then I'm not a
major GNUstep contributor either and it might indeed be an important
problem for GNUstep.
I just want to restate that _technically_ there should be little
questions, it certainly doesn't solve all issues with CVS but quite a
number of them. Svn is a mature and proven software which already has
replaced plenty of CVS installations.
The reason people are using Svn is definitely not "hype" as some
other people suggested in the thread. Its just a straightforward
replacement for CVS which has proven itself in various major
deployments over some quite a long time now.
