In which regard? cvs had a poor eol handling which caused a lot of
trouble. svn fixes this. However, when converting, the missing eol info
had been added by the conversion script but it was missed at certain
points and these omissions still pop up.

If git is better you shouldn't have any trouble with line feeding.

Indeed, cvs was a pain and svn fixed most of the problems as well as
adding some usefull stuff and being a superset of cvs. git misses
several stuff compared with svn: proper eol handling, blocking of
patches from merging, good support of non unix platforms, ...
