Rewrok? We should add that as a new word in the language - To spend time fixing things that worked fine before. :-) Anyway, for me, I've found subversion to be way quicker to checkout, so for Firebird that is a big plus but firebird is quite a large code base. OTOH, branches and tags work very differently to CVS. Basically in subversion a tag must be treated as just another branch as far as the end user is concerned, which was not obvious at the beginning. Overall I haven't yet found a compelling need to move my local code from cvs, but if I did I think I would look at git before svn. Interesting that you prefer hg over git. Maybe I should have a look at that someday.
