As the person maintaining a repository and someone using working copies
I much prefer subversion to cvs. I found the move from cvs to subversion
using the cvs2svn tool painless for a repository without tags. I have
not used tags in cvs. Setting svn:eol-style correctly so text checkouts
work to unix and dos can be a pain. Make sure all commiters use
auto-props and you may want to set up
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/contrib/hook-scripts/check-mime-type.pl

I not familiar with arch or monotone, but would encourage cvs users to
change to svn.

It was handy that you were still using cvs in the fall semester because
our group used subversion on top of a cvs checkout.
