If CVS is abandoned, why would SVN be choosen? For personal use, I'm
using GIT these days and it's a nice experience.

I'm currently running a SVN->GIT conversion for the GCC repo (which is
at aboput 70% of the SVN revision numbers right now) for personal use.
I tried to do that for the Binutils (whole `src'), too, but that
showed up some problems in the CVS import scripts, though these are
worked on.

IBGT on the `check out just binutils' thing: HDDs are somewhat cheap
these days and thus I'd just rule out that argument.

Once the CVS import problems are ironed out, I'd really suggest to
think about GIT.

PS: After verifying that at least the tips of all branches are
correct, I'll of course offer the GCC GIT repo for cloning.
