It wasn't my intention to suggest such a migration, nor would I
recommend it. I still think CVS is sufficient for our requirements,
but if developers want something newer or better we should try Subversion
or Perforce or indeed one of the distributed tools like git or
mercurial etc. Though I don't really see the advantages of such
a tool for our use.

Migration would be easy though, as DCVS is only an extension of CVS,
so the actual database does not need to be changed, except for the
administrative data.
