Subversion still does not track merges, which I think was the original
reason to why this discussion started.  

Personally I would rather use bzr, but I know our maintainer does not
like it that much (because of the lack of commit hooks.)  But I
wouldn't mind switching to subversion, keep in mind that it will not
be any better than CVS.
