Sure, but I was thinking in terms of what we currently use. With cvs,
you have no remote access. With cvs+cvsup and a copy of the repo, you
can do diffs, reverts etc. No commits. p4 has the same limitation as
regular remote cvs.
The point was that compared to the baseline of cvs+cvsup, there would be
no lost functionality with something like svn in that particular
regard.
