I guess that is part of why I have been hesitant to broach the subject.
Everyone has opinions that are on the level as what editor or what
distro when it comes to what versioned source control to use. 

I don't want to push for a different source control unless there is a
fairly large benefit to be gained. I'm still not sure yet that
subversion provides a great enough benefit. I wish I was more proficient
at it and therefore could turn a export of the CVS into a good example
of what could be gained with svn. 

I guess my main point in the previous post is to get others thinking
about what and how it could possibly be used to help those tracking
private changes to move forward.
