I imagine they're pretty good.  Only thing is I don't know if they 
support importing whole CVS repositories, *,v files and all.

Well, a couple of reasons:
1. There's a fully-functional CVS repository here, ready to plug in & 
go.
2. I'd like to get the repository somewhere public simply for the 
infrastructure - the only reason this is moving from Fotango is because 
they just don't have the time to do lots of admin.

But if everyone else wants SVN I'll go with the flow.
