That's one of the things I like the most about Subversion. It actually feels 
like a real file-system (only versioned). Whenever I'm using CVS, I always 
think a lot on how to name a file or where to place it, because I know I 
cannot move or copy it later. In Subversion, this is entirely a non-issue. 
That's why I find using CVS more and more frustrating.

Subversion ownz!
