Sorry for being late to the discussion.  Subversion is clearly superior
to CVS, but the difference between CVS and Subversion in terms of
project organization is insignificant, at least for a project like GRUB.

Considering that Subversion is not supported by Savannah, I think it's
not worth it to move the repository to another site just to use
Subversion.  

A commit that moves a file from one place to another will be understood
by the converters as a move.

As for git, I made a mirror at git://repo.or.cz/grub2.git that is
updated by a cron job every 2 hours.   I make all my patches in my local
git repository.

git can import from Subversion too.
