Is this that important compared to the pain of CVS when trying to rename files, move directories, etc.? If you never have to do stuff like that, I suppose it's fine to stick with CVS and since parrot is much closer to stability, perhaps it's no longer such an issue. However, there's nothing more "fun" than realizing that renaming something in CVS generally means losing all of your history. Further, since things like "diff" are run against a local cache with CVS it lowers bandwidth usage considerably if many developers are on a project. So unless there are advanced CVS features that are required that SVN does not provide (and if the switch is easy enough), I'd cheerfully recommend SVN over CVS any day.
