5. Spend some time browsing through http://drupal.org/project/ issues?projects=107028&components=CVS, and you see an awful lot of requests there that wouldn't be there if we were using SVN. For example, it's amazing how often "I need a tag deleted" comes up, because people can't figure out the command to do it.
For the record, this has *nothing* to do with the (D)VCS of choice, but everything to do with people's lack of understanding the basics of release management. The answer to all these questions isn't: - it's "cvs tag -d DRUPAL-5--1-1-ALPHA-CHICKEN", silly, not "cvs remove". The answer is almost always: - You already tagged and released that version. Your alpha chicken is loose in the wild. Your only recourse now is to make a beta chicken or make a real release.
