subversion and cvs

Differences between subversion and cvs.

• files
  

  svn has only a single repository file but cvs is based on RCS file arch.

• branch and tags
  

  In cvs, we use cvs tag and cvs branch to branch and tag source code

• import

  In the base dir of the target dir
  cvs import -m"import proj1" proj1 vendor_tag release_tag
  
  But in svn, you can do it like this
  svn import . file:///c:/svnroot/your_project -m "import proj1"
  or
  above the target project base dir
  svn import proj1 file:///c:/svnroot/your_project -m "import proj1"
