FWIW, for those not there, the big argument made by the pro-arch camp
at the boston summit was that svn was merely incremental improvement
over cvs while arch had the potential to really change how we do
things. I can't really speak to that one way or the other, not really
having used either, but that is just the background.

I believe there was an objection from the core arch/bazaar folks at
LCA on this issue. Apparently there are established tools to export
from CVS, and not so much for SVN, which at this time makes it a bit
of a one-way street. But I may be misremembering.
