I ask because I maintain a number of local = CVS repositories of code for which I am the only developer/maintainer. = I also use grep on the repositories to find sections of code previously = created and removed for future use. I can't bill my clients for = conversion to SVN so that cost I would have to eat. I am not = particularly thrilled about having to do so. I don't need most of the = CVS features. About all I do is check in. Occasionally I botch up a = module enough that I delete it and recover it from CVS. I don't use = branches or tags.
