No, subversion is an *example*. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I don't consider subversion to be one of 'em. Early on, it was obvious what it was suffering from. If you're willing to put up with the dependency hell, the needless bells and whistles, and the developer attitude, I'm sure it's tolerable. Maybe useful. Shiny even.
