Subversion maintains a complete history for a tree - this means it keeps
track of directories too. Its possible to delete a file in the middle of
the project and then later add a file (even with the same name) and
Subversion will maintain distinct histories. CVS doesn't handle that.
The only caveat is that you must use Subversion commands to move, copy,
delete files, etc.
