I will grant that for someone moving from CVS, arch does have a steeper
learning curve. However, to make it work pretty much like CVS, just
say:
tla id-tagging-method explicit
Then you tla add, tla delete, tla mv, etc. files just like you would
with svn. Or CVS.

It's never going to be as good as Arch without more support in svn
proper, since to be as good as arch, you have to be able to track
changes across repositories. I've spoken to the Svn people about that,
and they said "not before 1.0, and maybe not after that." We'll see.
If svn does eventually pick that up, it'd be kick-ass, but it would
represent a major change to its workings for sure.
