[ jEdit-devel ] OT svn vs cvs

[Andy S. <an...@ru...>]

Hi,

This is a little off topic but I know there are people here who might have 
some good advice and there has been some discussion on the issue with respect 
to jEdit.  My experience with version control systems is almost entirely with 
the hand-rolled variety (i.e. in big companies which created their own) and a 
little bit with the MS product (a poor one when I last used it).

I've got a new SourceForge project.   After looking over the docs for CVS and 
SVN it seems like SVN is the obvious choice.  It's creators explicitly 
designed the system to avoid the shortcomings of CVS. 

Is there any reason not to go with svn when starting a new project?
