I remember seeing a talk by Jim Blandy on Subversion around 2001.  At
the time, the CVS-using community in the audience were (vocally)
impressed by what a huge step forward it was in addressing the
limitations of CVS.

There are indeed other choices out there these days, but at the time it
began, Subversion made a lot of sense.
