As a heads-up, Arnaud and I have been discussing switching to
Subversion after 2.0.3-final. Everything is in place, but we didn't
want to do the changeover in the middle of the -pre series. So I
wouldn't spend too much time on Cervisia unless you need it for other
projects.

I'm curious as to what you mean about "memorizing which files are
changed"... if you run 'cvs -n update', you can see which files have
been changed. SVN takes this one step further, and keeps cached copies
of the checked-in files on your machine, so you don't need an active
net connection to see which files are changed, or even doing diffs
against the checked-out revision.

(I confess that I use TortoiseSVN when I get stuck doing Windows
programming, though... please don't think I'm knocking the idea of
using a GUI.)
