[LLVMdev] moving to svn?

[Nate Begeman]

I vote for staying with CVS or moving to SVN, but there's just not  
that much wrong with the CVS repository now that warrants switching.   
Offline diffing would be nice, but is not crucial to development.  As  
for random non-cvs, non-svn version control systems, I'm casting a  
"no" vote since that would require that I install yet more software  
and learn yet another version control system.
