I never could figure out the branching in cvs. The only thing I really needed from git (and the reason I used the git mirror) was git bisect.
Interesting. But that would be more a question, it sounds, about the familiarity of the tools rather that some underlying capability.
I find branching in cvs to be very easy. Logging/searching is something I have not experienced being a problem in cvs either.
The (obvious) things I don't particularly fancy with cvs are file copying and renaming, which is rather lacking. Handling of directories are also a bit broken. And, as always, tracking merging between branches are annoying, to say the least.
That last point is also an issue with Subversion.
