Losing the line-ending annoyance for one... there are other advantages though, like off-line diffing, status and revert commands (in CVS you need to do "rm file; cvs up file" to revert). There is a revision number after each commit so it is straight forward to do a binary search between commits in case there is a regression. And so on. > (in other words, why would you care to make such a big effort? well if it was a really big effort I wouldn't put it up. But it isn't. There are automated conversion tools, and for people who understand basic CVS, SVN is very easy to learn (basic usage is similar, it was designed to be a "better CVS").
