SVN has its own set of problems.Especially with respect to importing your CVS history - these various tweaks to CVS can burn the importer, it will be quite a chore to indentify those subtly corrupt ,v files, tweak them, and ensure the resulting repository is golden. However SVN has one distinct advantage, and that's when you are reorganizing. Renaming files -and directories- is painless, and history is preserved. Not that I'm advocating either way. Bill
