I've strongly opposed to using ClearCase for Wine development :-)
I'm also somewhat opposed to CVS. The big problem with CVS is that it makes it *too* easy to contribute changes, and too hard to disentangle changes later when trying to contribute them back to the main tree. (This kind of thing has caused huge nightmares in the past.)
So all you folks that feel that creating and posting patches is hard -- the payoff is *each change is much easier to peer review*. That makes for much higher quality code!
If you really want to use a CVS-like system, go have a look at Bitkeeper. It's free for open source projects, and it is the only source code control system that doesn't make it hard to disentangle changes later.

CVS is not the best, granted, but have you seen the ChangeSet scripts we're using?
