I just tested checkout of FreeBSD's svn over https and the process was
using approximately 300M RAM (I shortly checked top(1)).

I wasn't able to clone with depth=1 a NetBSD IIJ src with git with
600M RAM.

Going out of cvs to svn/git will alienate significant part of Tier 1
port machines and most of the Tier 2 ones.

Could you please list your wish list of features to add/improve in cvs(1
)?
