Kevin,
BTW, notifications are working again ... looks like their machine ran
out of space.

I agree (if by "local" you mean one on objectstyle.org server). The
biggest reason why we still stay with SourceForge is not just
convenience (so far there has been lots of INconvenience :-)). It is
that I am the only admin of the objectstyle.org server.
Our users should have some insurance in case I get hit by a beer
truck and the ISP discontinues our service as a result. Having a
repository on a public site provides that type of insurance. Now of
course we are not married to SourceForge. I think java.net provides
Subversion hosting and I am open to such migration.
Now regarding Subversion - I had a very positive experience with it
when I used it on a customer project a year ago. However back then I
found Subversion Eclipse plugin somewhat lacking, so I just used
command line. For a command line user Subversion provided lost of
nice improvements over CVS (like adding directories in a single
command)... As my current Eclipse/CVS setup hides a number of CVS
shortcomings behind the UI, I had little incentive to investigate
Subversion for use with Cayenne. But like I said - I am open to it.
