I use both CVS and Subversion, and have no problems doing the things you mention (except the single file checkout[1]), assuming that you mean "working copy" where you say "sandbox", and that by "checking out a single subdirectory on a different branch" you mean "updating a single subdirectory to a different branch". [1] Subversion doesn't allow this. I have never needed this feature, although I can see it can make all the difference if you store extremely large files in the repository, or the directory structure is under-developed. Luckily, Subversion allows you to copy and move versioned items freely and without the lossage that's inevitable when you move files in a CVS repository. -- How many Vietnam vets does it take to screw in a light bulb?
