It looks quite a bit better than CVS, notably:
"Directories, renames, and file meta-data are versioned.
Lack of these features is the most common complaint against CVS --
basically, CVS only versions file contents. Subversion will handle
directory changes, file renames, and permission and other meta-data
changes as well."

Had a note from Brian Behlendorf (Collabnet) about it:
"Feel free to use it as an underlying component [to OHS] to
potentially save yourself some time."

Certainly might be worth matching up the user requirements
to the OHS list.
