Subject: Re: Why SVN?

To quote from the SVN webpage:
Subversion is meant to be a better CVS, so it has most of CVS's
features. Generally, Subversion's interface to a particular feature is
similar to CVS's, except where there's a compelling reason to do
otherwise.

Without delving into specifics, SVN makes it a lot easier to do things
than CVS does, especially administrative tasks and branching etc.

It's powerful enough to draw hardcore CVS users to it, and power/easy
enough to draw hardcore VSS* users to it.

at 3k/machine licensing fees.
