[CLUE-Tech] CVS replacement?

[Jeffery Cann]

This month's Linux Journal has an article on another CVS replacement called 
'subversion'.  It sounds interesting, although I thought the author 
exaggerated the problems with CVS.  I use CVS and find it simple and easy to 
administer.  The fact that you cannot rename a file with one command is not 
that big of an issue for me.

The interesting point of subversion is that it is tied directly to Apache.  I 
understand the point of this because many CVS users use it in client-server 
mode, with their repositories being on a remote server.  However, for a lot 
of cases (like single-person development shops), having to run Apache to get 
CVS seems a bit odd.

FWIW, subversion wants to knock-off CVS as the de facto version control 
system.
