[Zope-CMF] Subversion?

I have two observations:

- bdb tends to need recovery from time to time and I'm not sure of the
  feasibility of filesystem-based Subversion repos, and CVS really
  doesn't have this issue.

- If we put something in Subversion and keep something in CVS,
  merging becomes a chore.  All of the code should really be
  in one or the other.  The current state of the world wrt to
  Zope 2.7 in CVS and 2.8/HEAD in Subversion is a real pain.
