Well, I've looked at it. CVSNT looks like it makes some improvements on 
CVS, but stays much more in the CVS mold than SVN. Whether that is good or 
bad depends on your point-of-view. Since CVSNT depends on regular CVS 
clients, my guess is that CVSNT is somewhat limited as to ability to 
introduce new approaches.

I was initially very skeptical of SVN, but after using it I'm rapidly 
becoming convinced that by starting fresh they were able to provide more 
functionality yet greater ease-of-use.
