At some point we will change.  All new projects at Kitware are svn. 
However, we have done some "hacks" with cvs that prevent an easy move. 
On the server side of our cvs repository we have used symbolic links so 
that kwsys is checked out into ParaView, ITK, VTK, and CMake. 
Basically, they all share the same ,v files.   So, if we move CMake we 
have to move ParaView, ITK, VTK, and several other internal projects. 
We are looking into ways to do this without much pain on all the 
projects.  So, there is plenty of interest, and I would suspect that we 
will get there over the next year.  However, it is not quite as simple 
as just converting the relatively small CMake repository.   Also, no 
need to sell us on the benefits of svn over cvs, we all agree it is 
better.
