Hi,

Talking about the CVS issue I would do the upgrade to SVN when the next release is out, make a release tag and switch to SVN to work on the next pre-release ;-).

You can say: Hei, the history is still on the CVS

See it like a book, there're volumes, I don't think there is a big problem to having a tag that says "Imported from CVS blablabla" as the first revision message for a SVN repository

The other topic on discussion, I would say: DOCUMENT. Yes, document it all, document what would be your decision and why. When someday you get blamed for a wrong decision he made because he didn't listened to what you said, then you have your documents. ;-)

But, if this work is limiting you, and you don't see a way in which your manager will change. Just leave.

Regards,
