We'll soon be switching to subversion for a new CVS repository here too. I've experienced
issues with CVS commits over a network when ssh is used, *and* some (or all) of the files
are being watched by other developers -- commits seem to fail unpredictably. Since CVS
doesn't have atomic commits (subversion does), I have to keep an eye on exactly what has
been commited before a failure occurs (if at all). That can be a real pain when you're
commiting or tagging a whole bunch of files spread through several subdirectories
heirarchies.
But, for a single person-repository not handling a lot of code, CVS is probably good enough.
