I would understand the argument that CVS meets our needs, and migrating would just distract us from the task at hand. Having said that, and having used both CVS and SVN, I'd have to say SVN is a serious upgrade that might have productivity benefits down the road.
Its my understanding that there's a tool you run on your CVS Repository to turn it into an SVN store (whatever they call it), so it sounds pretty painless. Its not like we'd be bleeding edge in this regard, I think a lot of people have converted CVS stores to SVN stores.
I have tried to use at least two different conversion tools, with no success. Don't recall which ones. Our CVS source tree is pretty ugly, so I wasn't surprised. Jonathan
