Ah, was not aware of that. But my usage of svn has been pretty minimal
(just basic cloning of a repo and such; I think I started svn'ing one
project at one point, got to maybe four revisions, and then the
project stagnated for long enough that I met git), and my cvs even
less so (I cloned exactly one repo, then ran into difficulties, asked
on the mailing list about compiling the version from cvs, and after a
few exchanges, someone said "Wait... when you say cvs, do you
literally mean cvs? We moved to git a little while ago, that's now out
of date" and I moved to git forthwith), so I have no experience with
even slightly advanced tools.
