: WHat are the improvements compared to Perforce ?

After working with Perforce for 9 month at Pluto, I'd have to say it
is head and shoulders above CVS.  It is a different style of source
management, where you have to explicitly open things, but its ability
to deal with branches has made it possible to have an extensive set of
changes from FreeBSD for pluto boxes and still stay sane.  And deal
with multiple branches, and deal well with merging.

CVSup is still faster at updates that perforce, however...
