The few advantages that I've noticed. - SVN can work in offline mode, it stores an original copy of the file in your hidden .svn dir, so you can diff against the tree without having access to the server. - SVN can store symlinks. - branching and tagging show up as version controlled operations... my memory is a bit fuzzy here but I believe CVS didn't do this. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
