I don't know if things have changed now though. Will take look again.

It's technically a VCS in the same sense as a USB memory stick is technically a content management system.

SVN has them, CVS doesn't. This is not a minor thing! You should move to SVN, if only for this.

(Actually, you should move to better things than SVN)

It is hugely better. You list the reasons yourself in your article. CVS is a pain. The only reason to use it is because it's already there in a legacy project (then again, migrating to SVN is relatively...]]> Wed, 22 Sep 2010 10:46:08 -0400 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 10:46:08 -0400 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 10:46:08 -0400 Sep 22, 2010 Andres F. 0 no good argument for CVS left http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=60938 Wow.

Then apache moved to SVN and things were a little annoying at first. If someone wants to use CVS, it's their choice. Atleast it's not as horrible as clearcase.
