SVN is way simpler at the interface than CVS, you should really look into it. SVN is a spiritual successor to CVS, and is trivially easy for a CVS user to pick up. We switched from CVS to SVN at work several years ago and everyone was happy with the change.


We did the same and plenty were _unhappy_. In the end git took over.

There were plenty of things I didn't like about SVN (separate folders per branch? yuk), having used CVS, and didn't find it 'trivial' to pick up.


Really, it's hard to handle branching worse than CVS does, and if SVN doesn't do a stellar job either, I don't see it as a barrier to switching.
