6- Oh, and you avoid deleting historical info (some precious release
tag for ex...) by mistake with no way of getting it back, since
everything you do is recorded as a revision and you can thus revert
back easily (this is not available in CVS AFAIK).
7- A lot of other easy stuff which are a real headache in CVS...
