Not that it would have any impact on development of lcd4linux, but for 
me, a switch to subversion would mean that I'll no longer track the 
latest development, for the time being.
That's simply because I have projects that are on CVS (and will 
definately stay that way for quite a while), plus I'm in charge of 
running several CVS servers (work related stuff), and I don't really 
want to have to use two similar but different tools.

 From what I've read, svn is pretty nice - but to be honest, none of the 
problems that cvs has and that svn fixes (handling of binary files and 
versioning of directories are the two that bug me the most) are bad 
enough to spend the extra time migrating tons of projects and learning a 
new tool (to _me_, that is).

But if you decide to switch, you may also want to take a look at the 
latest news from sourceforge - from what I've heard, they're working on 
offering svn.

Just my two cents - not really being a contributor at the moment, I'm 
obviously not telling you that you shouldn't switch to svn.
