Hi, Kamaraju ...

Maybe because CVS and subversion have different properties. Subversion, for
instance, uses more local disk space than CVS. CVS, on the other hand, does
more work on the repository directly which can be slow when the repository is
remote. CVS has some internal drawbacks which are already in the design (i.
e. some _more_ than subversion), but there are lots of tools and scripts
available for CVS which have no equivalent for subversion (yet).

So the choice which versioning tool to use is up to each user.

In our context, both tools are mostly the same as they both work on line
comparing for ASCII files as the TeXmacs document files. Problems like the
unsolvable conflicts are the same.
