[TxMt] How Long Must We Wait for CVS Support?

[Court K.]

You really think I'm going to convince entire fortune 500 companies  
to just switch to subversion? Why not implement cvs? My guess is the  
reason subversion support sprung up so fast was because it was easier  
to code. More companies use CVS. Yes, subversion is much nicer,  
however when dealing with 99% of the companies (if you consult) you  
will be using a CVS server. Rather than changing every existing  
company over to subversion, why not support something that is already  
the standard for version control? That's like saying Mozilla Firefox  
is superior to Internet Explorer and I should just force every  
company I consult for, and all their client base to switch to  
Firefox. It won't work like that. I like subversion too, but in  
consulting with hundreds of companies I've only found one that  
actually used subversion.
