Well, I've looked at it. CVSNT looks like it makes some improvements on CVS, but stays much more in the CVS mold than SVN. Whether that is good or bad depends on your point-of-view. Since CVSNT depends on regular CVS clients, my guess is that CVSNT is somewhat limited as to ability to introduce new approaches.
CVSNT *works with* existing CVS clients, with some enhanced features. However, if you use a CVSNT client, then you get even more features. The website gives a full list at http://www.cvsnt.com/cvspro/compare.htm Here's a key list of those that I feel might apply to boost: Server LockServer provides file level locking More sophisticated / extra triggers available e.g. postcommit. Triggers also available via COM/DLL/.so interfaces Supports Unicode files with additional keyword expansion switches Efficient storage of binary files using binary deltas Extended modules functionality using the modules2 file Advanced Reserved Edits and checked commits (supercedes exclusive locking concept) Server-side default options (cvsrc) Client Smart Merge using MergePoint Supports Unicode files with additional keyword expansion switches "Import-and-go" by optionally turning freshly imported trees into a new sandbox automatically.
