Currently, if both modules are enabled, drush chooses 'cvs' to install a module. I don't see a benefit to this and, one drawback, is that CVS does not populate the .info files with versioning information so the module administration page does not show the module versions for drush installed modules.

I think it makes sense to have 'wget' or 'curl' take precedence over 'cvs'.

anyone else have an opinion ... fyi, you can enable the cvs_deploy mdule to fix that compatibility with versions for modules.

what i think is needed phrased in a more general way: a setting to tell drush which version preference order to obey, ie.
cvs-head
wget-dev
wget-stable
cvs-stable
f.e. would be my preference :)
