If boost moves to SVN then Quan will follow after watching their progress, but meanwhile Quan should stay in step with Boost IMO.
Why bother? I don't think you can glom files from one CVS database into another. There's no point in keeping this level of compatibility, so you might as well switch to the modernized alternative before you gain many revisions. (Ironically, I think that SVN _does_ allow some degree of cross-database glomming.)
The reason is pretty simple. I am no expert on Version Control. If Quan gets accepted to Boost then I will need to know CVS in order to work effectively. If and when Boost moves to Subversion I will have to learn it, however as I understand it CVS is the more tricky system to learn and at that stage I will have more understanding of version control so the move should not be as difficult. regards Andy Little
