One possibility would be to have OSL just host a CVS server, and see whether that clears up most of the problems.

I think passing up an opportunity to migrate to SVN would be contrary to the spirit of Boost being a cutting-edge community. It's not like it's a gratuitous switch with no obvious benefits. I think anybody who's taken a look at SVN can see that there are definitely improvements over CVS. To be honest with you, taking a look at what is available in the Java world, I have to say that the C++ community is working in the Stone Age still. It needs every leg up it can get. Dave
