It's also worth pointing out that git seems pretty capable of doing  
real tracking of an svn repository.  There is some level of git-CVS  
integration with the git-cvsexportcommit and git-cvsimport commands  
but it looks sort of hackish.  The git-svn conduit seems very  
complete and appears to allow one to work with git and easily commit  
all the changes to svn.  I imagine this has a lot to do with the fact  
that SVN keeps track of history a lot better than CVS does,  
particularly with respect to file moves and copies.

I really don't see any downside to moving from CVS to Subversion,  
even if we want to eventually go to a distributed SCM.  Because of  
the git-svn conduit, it's even possible for groups of developers to  
splinter off and track each other's work via git while the master  
repository remains safe in Subversion.
