On a positive note; do look at subversion; play with it - and note that

Another note that noone seems to consider, which I think is fairly important
(read annoying);
Subversion eats almost all CPU cycles on a 2.4 Linux Kernel, on updates and
commits. Often so much that even the mouse is no longer tracking, and always
making my entire desktop fairly unresponsive. And for Avalon that means
~1minute on my system (svn up)...
Very interesting... I have never seen that behavior on my system, and I've worked with some pretty large repositories too...
For what it is worth on good old Sparc 5 systems and FreeBSD on a normal
486 or a pentium; we're talking 1-2Mbyte of exec for CVS and checkout times
in the order of a few minutes top's; with SVN we needed to increase the build
partitions with some 50 Mbytes and a normal check out on these underspeced
machines with SVN can easily take 30-45 minutes for a large tree (say
apache, apr, tomcat, axis and some other bits from a local/private SVN
repository). On something like a pentium 4 I've never noticed the difference.
But those dated dinosaurs are not exactly the infrastructure's I would optimize
the ASF's toolchain for.
