what has this got to do with anything? if they have a commit done every
hour or two and I do svn update or cvs update?
Doing cvs update in the middle of somebody's big commit, you risk
getting an inconsistent state. With a project having such frequent
commits, this risk is non-negligible.
With svn, you always get either the state before the whole commit or
after it, no problem.
