GIT supports tags as flexible as we need, I think. svn does but not as flexibly as the way we currently use CURRENT and TESTING, etc. in cvs. So we'd need to figure out how the db scripts get modified and how they know which versions correspond to our old CVS tags.
The way that git does tagging (which is more correct anyway) it's not easy to move tags from one commit to another. The way we do CVS tagging won't be portable to git.
Thanks for pointing this out. It actually occurred to me that this was the case while I was walking around outside at lunch! Git is entire-content centric, so the tag applies to the whole repo. - P
