No specific problem that I can see. CVS works and we could use it for
the next century, but it's fairly dull and inflexible. I think the aim
is to allow the project to start to reap the benefits of the more
advanced VCS systems now available.

As a developer, just the fact that I can't do 'cvs diff' when offline is
a real PITA. Now I've seen how things could be, and all the other
projects I hack on use Subversion, I find it less appealing to start
working on a GNOME project if I find myself offline with a few hours to
spare.
