Hi Al,

A google search of 'subversion vs cvs' will likely find many papers that
compare and contrast the two systems.

If you are just managing your own files and no one else needs to use
them outside of the machine where you are holding them now, then you
might find that using 'rcs' will have less overhead in general than
using either of cvs or subversion.

cvs has been around a fairly long time and is reasonably stable.
cvs has both remote client/server mode as well as a local mode of
operation.

subversion was written with the goal of addressing many of the
shortcomings of cvs such as directory and file renaming and atomic
commits across multiple directories. Written to be a client/server
application.

        Good luck,
        -- Mark
