You could point out that CVSNT works very well under Linux, and you can still use your new Linux box as the repository. See: http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/InstallationLinux and this can help you move from Win32 to Linux repository (although the steps will be in reverse, naturally) http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/MoveFromLinux Another important note is that AFAIK Subversion doesn't support merging well ATM, which I use all the time (last I saw it supported it as the original CVS did, which CVSNT has improved greatly on). You will in fact be losing some functionality moving to SVN. Regards, -- Glen Starrett
