In defence of cvs. Staroffice is a pretty big project and we do well 
with cvs. 150 developers all with check-in permissions. We do also 
have some extra tools to draw pretty lists of changes and some 
tracking tools to assign numbers of features and bugs and track 
changes related to those bugs throughout the system. And some custom 
scripts to map the network drives appropriately. Whatever you say 
about cvs its well known and reliable.
