Lets not have the git/cvs/svn discussion we had in January...  Here is 
the thread if someone wants to read it:

We (Kitware) have issues with moving to svn (or any other VCS) because 
of the way we have abused cvs.  We use symbolic links on the server side 
to "share" kwsys with several projects.  To date we have not yet found a 
good way to do this from svn.  git is pretty much a show stopper because 
of the poor windows support it currently has.  However, I have been told 
that git can easily track an svn repository.
