That is a bit of an understatement

Subversion was definitely a marked improvement. But the developers took a poor implementation of CVS which was hacked on top of RCS and said let's fix CVS. Rather than say, what would make a good version control system and go build it. I personally love git, but love the concepts of distributed version control more.
