Is the cvs code going away?  I ask because I maintain a number of local CVS repositories of code for which I am the only developer/maintainer.  I also use grep on the repositories to find sections of code previously created and removed for future use.  I can't bill my clients for conversion to SVN so that cost I would have to eat.  I am not particularly thrilled about having to do so.  I don't need most of the CVS features.  About all I do is check in.  Occasionally I botch up a module enough that I delete it and recover it from CVS.  I don't use branches or tags.
