Or use git, mercurial, darcs, perforce, etc. rather than subversion.
Mercurial and Git are both very good and very similar I'm told.
(Linus on that vid says Monotone is nice but too slow.)
I realize this is bandwagon Windows-land thinking, but, I would think
you'd want to go with Git since being the Linux choice it is bound to
gather the most momentum like a snowball rolling down a hill no?
Given that the git Windows port is a second-class citizen, Git is not
bound to gather the most momentum.
Mercurial specifically goes out of its way to support Windows. This
means that Mercurial, with time, is likely to achieve far greater
penetration than git.
bzr also has a similar attitude as Mercurial toward Windows.
If you are arguing popularity (and, you really shouldn't be), then those
are your winners.
The other thing to keep in mind is that many of these DVCS systems can
gateway back and forth without losing information. I'm pretty sure that
git and hg can now interchange in lossless ways.
Consequently, even if you find that you don't like one or the other
after using it a while, changing to a different one isn't so bad.
