By SVN I guess you meant CVS?  SVN is simply the command line tool for
SubVersion repositories.

And WHY must SubVersion be compatible with CVS???  Git is a totally
different design, yet importing CVS or SubVersion repositories is a
no-brainer. In fact in all my years of using SCM software, moving
repositories from SubVersion to Git was the easiest migration I have
ever had to do.
