[Pw_forum] CVS vs. SVN

[marsamos at democritos.it]

Dear Norbert, moving espresso from cvs to svn is something that we are 
discussing without reaching by now a clear and definite view/decision. 
Let's see in the future. But, if you like to participate to our 
discussions it would be very interesting to exchange point of view with 
you.
