The point is not review itself but getting files/diffs to do that review. You 
get diff with single svn command with proposed repo scheme while for cvs you 
need to find out which files are needed, then diff each file.

The switch is fine when the most annoying problems will go away without 
bringing new, worse problems.

The switch can't happen without demo/test repo first. Well, I don't think it 
will (ever) happen - no man resources to do all the stuff (and there are tons 
of things to be done).
