And last I > checked, you could not keep your history. That's not true that SVN needs lot more overhead. At least if you compile subversion from source you can disable unneeded features e.g. apache and java-bindings support. On gentoo you can enable/disable following features when emerging subversion: apache2, bash-completion, berkdb, subversion has also a flat file db support(fsfs which is standard when creating a subversion repo) java (afaik only bindings support) nls perl (afaik only bindings support) python (afaik only bindings support) zlib emacs nowebdav (no webdav support via the neon lib) ruby (afaik only bindings support) so you can strip down the requirements to the minimum if you want. Apache + Webdav is only needed if you want the access to the repos via webdav. there are now at least one cvs2svn conversion tool with which you can keep your history of cvs. Stephan > > CVS is the devil we know.
