I tried out the svn server, with a checkout, add, commit to see the 
complexity of the change from cvs... Basically it is nearly identical 
for this case with the same syntax except for the initial checkout url 
being slightly different. I'd like to check the complexity of doing a 
branch/merge, but it basically seems pretty seems pretty easy to use svn 
for a cvs user. What other tools are available for use with svn (eg a 
replacement for tkcvs) to visualize the branching and versioning of 
files in the repository?

John, have you had a chance to try this out?

David
