I know that Jason likes svn but I haven't used it. I'm not sure that it
would be easy to convince me to spend any time trying to convert
everything to a new source control system. CVS is nice because it lives
everywhere and is a known commodity. Do we really want to think about
the headache of having people set up svn (or arch, or whatever) if they
want to develop with gdb? Do we want to make gdb's repository separate
from, say, cygwin's or newlib's? Seems like a lot of tricky work to me.
