Re: CVS -> SVN

Hi all,
I vote for switching to Subversion.
1. Many operations can be done offline which is important for me
because my internet provider routinely have technical problems and
some people pay for their traffic (I used to do so before switching the  
IP).
2. The whole tree is versioned and not the single files - ex. one
can implement a new service and use it in other plugins, commit
the whole changes and all other can easily follow what is
changed. And most important if something goes wrong the rollback
is extremely easy.
3. Atomic commits really helps people that have IP like mine.

Also as a personal reasons, of all the open source projects
I'm involved I use CVS only for Miranda,
so it will be very nice for me to deinstall TortoiseCVS.
I made a transition from SourceSafe to Svn/TortoiseSVN without
problems and they have very different models of workflow.
If I understand correctly Svn tries to be as close as possible
to CVS so it will be even more easier for Miranda's developers.
Also for the 4 years I use CVS i stil ldoes not understand how it works -
I just blindly copy the incantations starting with :pserver from
SourceForge site to my CVS client and cross my fingers that it will work.
On contrary I was the man who installed Subversion server for use in the  
firm
I work for and I make regular bug reports to TortoiseSVN project. I feel  
very
comfortable using this system and will be very pleased to use it with  
Miranda.

Regards,
Todor
