Well, Subversion tries to be like CVS in terms of basic usage (checkout, 
update, commit), but I think the fact that changes to the source tree as a 
whole are versioned, as opposed to single files, is at least an important 
improvement, although not as revolutionary as the distributed model. Moving 
to Subversion should be possible in a very short time, so it's not much of an 
upheaval.
