I like the handling of branches and tags better.  It's easier and less
error prone.  You can rename files and directories while still keeping
history.  Some operations can be run locally, without having to hit the
repository.  (diff, status are two I use often)

They do provide an automated migration option.  Just submit the request
and the site does it for you.  The migration will include all
branches/tags/revisions in the CVS repository.  It doesn't alter/remove
the cvs repository so if we decide against it, nothing is lost.

I'd like to take it for a spin an see how well it works.
