The last time we seriously tested svn we found that svn choked on a
repository the size of the portage tree. The problem w/ arch (and w/
metacvs, which would be my preference), is that neither system has a
good migration utility from cvs. The history of changes that is kept in
our cvs tree is extremely valuable, and thus any new system that does
not allow us to keep that history is a non-starter.
