svn lets you rename / move files without losing history.  This is huge.

svn lets you group files for actions, i.e. if you check in 900 files, 
and one fails, you're fine.  cvs, if you check in 900 files, and one 
fails, you now have a repository that is in a screwy state and its now 
up to you to back out 899 changes - and that is only one of several very 
significant benefits provided by being able to group file actions.

Other than that, they are pretty much identical (intentionally so), but 
those two reasons alone are enough for me to switch to SVN.  Some big 
names run svn too, like code.google.com, etc., so if you're hosting 
projects with them (like I am) then it makes things easy.
