Way smaller _IF_ you commit carefully (don't commit slightly mutated binary
files all the time. Our backup of 120 revisions together in .tar.bz2 are
120% of the size of the source as ZIP.
Setting up SVN took about a day, including plugging a ssh hole in the
firewall so it works from home. The biggest thing is figuring you need
groupid permissions here and there.
Including reading the book. (I got the O Reilly one, partially also for the
other people in the company)
I did already have a samba Linux server setup though, so only needed to add
this app, not install a server.
