Consider that this might change as the alternatives to CVS become more 
mature. You may be interested in this thread at OpenOffice.org :

In brief, there is a desire to, at some point in the future, move away 
from CVS to something more convenient. Indeed, this is what led me to 
the Darcs mailing list. I was trying to become informed about the 
alternatives.
