Subject: CVS opinions
What is everyone's opinion on CVS? I've heard a lot of bad yet it's
still widely used.

I have a situation where we are currently using Microsoft VSS which also
seems to be part of Server 2003 now. The developers 'hate' VSS and want
something else. Their history with other Source Control systems also
have poor reviews from them. None of them have used CVS so CVS sounds
attractive to them. The other attractive note about CVS is that our Mac
clients can now have source control.

I've been given a 'go' to investigate CVS, do some installations,
backups, catastrophic failures of server, restores, etc...
I'd like to see some opinions on it because I've never heard "CVS is
great!". Either we go ahead and convert all our VSS to CVS or just put
up with VSS.

If we go with CVS, I can justify getting a new server and also have
Postfix running on it to get rid of our spam.
