Well, I have mixed feelings about this. Despite its known and
annoying flaws, CVS was popular when SourceForge was established.
SourceForge chose to support CVS for its simplicity. Now, the
popularity of SourceForge makes CVS popular, but the deficiencies in
CVS are still there.
I cannot help but think that CVS is the "C" of revision control
systems. Ada programmers deserve better than that :)
With Meta-CVS, one can get the best of everything: the SourceForge CVS
server and surrounding tools, without the annoying CVS deficiencies.
At least, I think Meta-CVS is worth a look.
