Oh.. but in practice, it does!
SF's SVN is much more reliable.
It is the cvs service that keeps breaking down.

I do a lot of work for opende.sf.net and since this project switched
from cvs to svn, the reliability is so much better.

Ok,

There is a specific 'svn for cvs users' tutorial out there that may
help.

The basics are pretty simple: version nrs (revisions) are designated
to entire source trees. If you change a single README, the rev goes
up for the tree.

Commits are done on a collection of files. If you change a .h, a .c
and a README and commit in 1 go, the change is a single entity that
brings the tree to a new revision nr.

You typically work with the mainbranch of the repository, which is called
'trunk'.

Other than that, the cmds are very similar:

cvs co -> svn co
cvs commit -> svn commit
cvs update -> svn update
cvs update -n -> svn status
cvs annotate -> svn annotate
..etc..

Also: history is preserved when going from SF cvs to SF svn.

Bonus: passwds are only req'd when needed (committing) and not
for simple stuff like diff, update, annotate, etc.
