Subversion -version control tool

This is a new version control tool developed by "collabnet" and it is cool,cos this is an open source software like CVS,excluding all the drawbacks of using the same tool.

For instance Subversion supports, directory versioning.That helps us a lot from CVS.Even though i am not an user of CVS,i du know some of its drawbacks :) .subversion has implemented a virtual filesystem similar to MVFS in Clearcase,which helps it to maintain and display information regarding the directory versions....

Even though it is an open source tool,mostly users from CVS would move to their similar arena.BUt would users replying on clearcase ,would they move to Subversion?seems like only time can answer this question :)

Have you worked on Collabnet? And by drawbacks in CVS, what exactly are you hinting at?

There can be a version tool like Collabnet, but i'll swear by ClearCase any day.
