In my opinion, there is one big plus for subversion, which is that it can handle directories (renaming) better than cvs. Another advantage could be that the concept of making tags and branches is somewhat simpler to understand for people that start to use a version control system the first time, since it is more like what they probably did before (make a 'backup' copy). Other than that I don't think the differences are too big for a casual user with local repositories... hth, albert
