On <URL:http://subversion.tigris.org/> you can read a list of features
that make Subversion better than CVS, which points to weaknesses in
CVS:
- Directories, renames and meta-data are not really supported in CVS;
- Symlinks are not either;
- Repeated merges (when you work on branches) are a PITA.
These are real-life problems of CVS, not just theoretical
weaknesses. One lives with it (I've been doing so for years), but one
dreams of a day when they are no more problems.
