SVN over CVS
written almost 15 years ago
SVN does happen to be what CVS should have been in many ways. The setup is easy and the commands are quite similar to CVS, in fact the same in many cases.
The best part I love on SVN is the folder structure management. If you want to change your file/folder hirerarchy in CVS then that is a big pain. Life is way smoother with SVN - you never realize (barring the prefix in the SVN comman) that you are not on your local filesystem - it is so simple and easy-to-manage. This speaks volumes of SVN and why one ought to use it over CVS - that is what I have started doing recently.
