There is a script distributed with svn that does this automatically. Not
sure how it'll cope with some of the manual manipulations we've done in
the past :)

any subversion <-> cvs gateway should work. svn provides a pre-commit
hook where we can block commit access at a fine grained level (I've never
tried this) if need be.
Until then we might have to brute force it and run a cvs repository with a
svn commit hook that autoupdates and commits changes to that cvs
repository.

Less administration.
No out of pocket expenses for bad/more hardware.
The cvs -> web setup would need reworked.
We'd have to resetup mailing lists(?)
That said, I still wouldn't mind it.
Another negative(or positive) thing about subversion. It keeps a complete
copy of the current unmodified checkout inside the .svn dirs. This means
you can do your diffs, rollbacks disconnected from the internet. I've
found this handy while on a trip. It also makes commits faster. However
it does mean developers can expect checkout space usage to double.
Can anyone give pros/cons to arch. I know nothing about it.
Take Care,
James
