I don't think anyone has ever regretted the move to SVN; I did it with
my repository, and haven't regretted it a single moment. I would say
the biggest advantage is doing away with tagging/branching, and
replacing that concept with moving/copying of directories. Also,
regarding web admin., SVN (unlike CVS), is designed for the web in the
first place, so it integrates well with Apache. My repository is
located here - http://via.dynalias.org/svn
This is both the URL that you can get via the web, or an SVN client -
very simple. As you can see, the interface is very dry and simple, but
it supports XML, so you can design whatever interface you want and
display whatever info.

 The move from CVS to SVN will take some time on the repository side;
there are scripts that help you do the move, but with something as
large as opencores, I'm not sure how well it would work out. Either
way, I sincerely hope the switch is made at some point.
