Yes, that sounds good...

Mainly because I have no idea how much testing cvsnt on Mac OS X has 
had... My impression is that it's close to none, so I'm a bit hesitant 
to replace a stable tool with something that might not be fully tested 
yet on that platform...
Also, there are a couple of issues with cvsnt to be resolved, which are 
mainly some strict requirements on file locations, which in turn would 
require having an installer, whereas MacCvs right now is an application 
package that can just be copied to the hard disk without the help of an 
installer (which, IMHO, is the preferred way).
However, I do want to use cvsnt eventually, so maybe you're right and 
this would be a good time.
I might prepare a release with the current code base that allows to 
toggle between cvsnt and cvsgui as the tool to use, so people can 
switch back to cvsgui in case of errors and then start working with 
cvsnt from now on - hmmh, need to think a bit about the consequences, 
but this might seem to be a reasonable approach...
