Is it worth renaming Mandrake -> Mandriva?

Mandriva RPM includes patch to rename Mandrake -> Mandriva completion function 
directories (in line with general policy that word Mandrake should not appear 
anymore). I am not sure if this worth it in generic sources; and anyway I am 
not sure how to do it properly in CVS.

Apropos CVS: SF offers subversion now, does not it? What people think about 
migrating to it?

It's just a case of remove and readd; the result's a little messy
but it should work OK in our case since we don't rely too much on
history of completion functions.

If we were starting from scratch, subversion would probably be a natural
choice, but as things stand I don't see any obvious gain by moving.  We
don't have the complexity of development where it would make a
significant difference.

My experiences with SVN have so far been nothing but frustrating.  This
may just be due to stupidity on the part of the people operating the
repository I've been trying to use, but operations I do routinely in
CVS (such as having multiple sandboxes with a different branch in each,
or checking out a single subdirectory on a different branch than the
rest of the modules, or even just checking out a single subdirectory
or a single *file* without *getting* the rest of the modules) seem to
be extremely hard to accomplish in SVN.

    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.

thank you (sorry for long pause, I was on business trip this week).
