See http://subversion.tigris.org/project_faq.html#stable In brief, it's reliable enough for use. The subversion team have been using subversion to manage the subversion code, and haven't lost any code in two years. It's not hit 1.0 yet because their may still be some API changes to come. I personally have been using it for a while, and have never had any problems. (On the other hand, I have lost code in a CVS repository, although only once and it was a number of years ago.) -- Jim Farrand
