Hi,
After giving it a serious try with several work projects, I'm thinking we 
should switch our CVS repositiries (installer etc.) to subversion.

The primary advantages:
- It is 99% command line compatible with CVS, we won't need to learn anything
  new
- You can rename a file without losing the ability to get a diff from older
  versions
- It treats binary files in the tree correctly (CVS expands tags like $Id$ 
  even in binaries, potentially breaking them)
- It can run chrooted

Any objections/concerns/thoughts?
