It is just as easy to setup a SVN server if one do not require the use of
the http and/or https protocols. If one are using either the svn:// or file:///
access methods, then setting up a SVN server is about equivalent to
setting up a CVS server. Unfortunately the documentation uses the
http:// protocol almost exclusively in it's examples. Using tortoiseSVN
under windows works very well and is very easy to use.

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
