Is it creating branches or using them that is more intuitive? Creating 
CVS branches is as simple as typing "cvs tag -b..." and I never found 
that confusing myself ... how does SVN do it?

I have to admit that using branches with CVS often confuses new 
developers/users, but I didn't think it could be made any easier, the 
developers need to understand the concept of branching once and then 
they're fine. I'm really looking forward to see how SVN made that more 
intuitive.

In the RFC you wrote:
"All source files in SVN will have the svn:keywords property set to "Id" 
by Frank after they are created."

Does this mean that SVN doesn't use the "$Id: $" keyword by default and 
that any new files will need to have this flag set to it after it's been 
added to the repository?

Other than those few questions that are clearly showing that I don't 
know SVN much, I have no objection and would vote +1.
