I have looked at other revision control systems in the past, and didn't
find any that meets my needs for free.  There is ClearCase if you want the
Cadillac of such systems, but its a burden to configure and maintain,
not to mention real pricey.  CVS has been around a long time and is
solid and meets our needs.  It has the limitation that it cannot track
movement of files, and I agree this is a nasty limitation to have, but
we can live with it, as Jason or I will do the bulk moves needed to
satisfy the new layout.

I really don't have time to acquire, install, configure and maintain a
new revision control system these days, I still haven't even found time
to setup cvsup for Brian (I'll try this weekend, honest  :-)).  So, unless
I hear some very compelling arguments for another system, my vote
is to stay with CVS.
