I've read about how the Mono project did the move. They have got
about 50'000 files in version control, and there have been several
problems with it. Later, a Subversion developer said it's simply
not intended for a project that large.
I haven't counted yet, but I believe gcc has several ten thousands
of files in CVS, too.
Also, CVS is proven, well-hung, interoperable and still a standard.
Just an impression from a person with about 120'000 files under
CVS version control (and yes, cvs tag takes its time, but that's
good to get some coffee or - better - fresh air).
