Thanks Rasmus, and Marcus for your analysis.

Especially with respect to importing your CVS history - these various tweaks
to CVS can burn the importer, it will be quite a chore to indentify those
subtly corrupt ,v files, tweak them, and ensure the resulting repository is
golden.

However SVN has one distinct advantage, and that's when you are reorganizing.
Renaming files -and directories- is painless, and history is preserved.  Not
that I'm advocating either way.
