Life is never easy. I guess Subversion in a step forward comparing to CVS.

There are several newer revision control systems (for example, DARCS and TLA) that provide an ability for everybody enjoy versioned environment even if the root repository is read only. They both allow local modification and up-branch patch submission. DARCS treats every sandbox as a local repository simplifying not only distributed, but also off-line development.

If you are going to use Subversion, may I ask you at least to provide a read-only DARCS replica of your repository for "outside" people to use?

Is it possible to use darcs instead of Subversion?



The ASF infrastructure is run by volunteers, just as our code is written by volunteers. In the case of SCM system there is a strong preference towards SVN because we can get many hands to help here - quite a few SVN developers happen to be ASF members as well.
