Yes yes yes I know there's a SVN out now but were starting out with CVS, haven't explored it too deeply yet but looks nifty.

It isn't too hard to take some CVS knowledge and go to SVN.
Though I do think that teaching CVS instead of SVN makes little sense now. Also, schools should start using it basically from the beginning.

the idea is to use the concepts of CVS and then go to SVN and going "woah" thats so much better!

Oddly enough, there is a CVS pharmacy in Chicago. I have no idea why they named a drugstore after a software repository, but whatever floats their boat I guess.

. . . I suspect that's not the real reason. If it is, that's a very bad one.

At the level I was taught source control in school, SVN wasn't all that much better than CVS (and the problems with CVS weren't so apparent), so unless you go into a lot more depth than I did, I doubt there's going to be that much of a "woah" moment.
