We are in the process of switching from CVS to SVN as our source control system. It is nearly four years ago that we first started using CVS and it has served us well. The main two reasons for changing are

• that SVN is an active project that continues to improve and be developed
• that using svn with apache allows much better/granular/easy to administer access control than CVS


There does appear to be a downside and that is simply that the Eclipse plugins are just not quite as sweet as the integrated CVS interface that comes bundled with Eclipse. As I get to grips with it more I will post the main issues here and to the appropriate mailing lists. At least these are active projects which can only improve.
