FWIW, to let my paranoia out: I don't like SVN because it obscures and packs the whole repository into one big file, which IMHO overshadows all its benifits.
I've been able in tha past to resolve the consequences of quite a few CVS bugs, due to the open structure of its repository. OTOH, if we're to continue using the services of SourceForge for the Naviserver project and Vlad, Stephen and Zoran who do most of the work are dissatisfied with CVS... I think at some point, there were contemplations to move the project to some local machines. Vlad was offering to host it, wasn't he? We (Zoran and I) at ARCHIWARE could offer a mirror too. In that case, we can consider going for other source control systems (GIT?) etc. and away from both CVS and SVN.
