sourceforge.net— Sourceforge has enabled Subversion support for all projects.Now you don't need CVS anymore, Subversion really has become "a compelling replacement for CVS".

<a class="user" href="http://www.pushok.com/soft_svn_vscvs.php">http://www.pushok.com/soft_svn_vscvs.php</a>subversion is nice in that you don't deal with file permission hell(I remember having to recursively chmod the CVS repository with a cron job every so often), no mapping of source control users to unix users, svn uses its own extensible back end that is constantly upgraded for performance, the datastore can be swapped out if you want to try something other than berkeley DB. Windows integration ala tortoise SVN alone makes subversion compelling as hell, the thing is beyond amazing. Imagine source control integrated w/ windows explorer but in a really cool way.
Personally I like CVS better. I LIKE having version control by file... SVN's versioning of the whole repository sucks when your working with branches and tags...
I use CVS at work, but have played around with subversion and have thought about moving our projects over to it. I guess if its good enough for SourceForge it should be good enough for me.

It's about time. I've been in groups that splintered away from SF projects just to get away from CVS. Digg!

I switched from cvs to svn 18 months ago.Subversion has a LOT better performance, atomic checkins, and a superior storage scheme.
