On this page, we are trying to collect argument pro and contra both staying with CVS, and switching to CVS. Behind each "argument" is a list of people who agree that this particular argument is valid. We currently have no other realistic choices (since SF.net offers us exactly those two), so I am not comparing more systems here.

Pro Subversion

Support for versioned renames/moves (impossible with CVS): Fingolfin
Overall revision number makes build versioning and regression testing much easier: Ender
Atomic commits: Fingolfin
Intuitive (directory-based) branching and tagging.

Pro CVS

Lots of people know how to use it: Fingolfin
Lots of documentation available: Fingolfin

Contra Subversion

?

Contra CVS

No support for versioned renames/moves (CVS repos hackery is not even remotely a replacement): Fingolfin
