Things I'd like to see:

* how to securely, automagically update stuff across a network, e.g. cron
driven, secure updates
* how to control read and write access to the repos on a file and dir basis
* how to spawn processes on the server if a particular file or a definable
file type is updated
* how to use soft links in the checkout tree and not have cvs toast them
* how to maintain a project in two different repositories, hopefully with
revision numbers for both
* how to release a project
* how to have multiple repositories on a single server

ciao,
