Hi,

What do you think? Has anyone already production experiences with svn? Any traps and pitfalls?
In need for a better CVS, I stumbled upon both Subversion and Arch, and after finding
these, obsessed by the distributed branches feature, looked at various other version
control system.
We are using Subversion for Orocos here at the KUL. It works and does what it was designed
for: being a replacement for CVS and fixing CVS's issues, such as the lack of renaming.
Unfortunately, the renamings are implemented as simple adds/deletes, which means, that
you can't really use diffs if renames happened. You'll see all lines deleted and re-added :-(
I've got to confess that I really got hooked on the ability to create distributed branches, a
feature which Subversion unfortunately lacks. Bitkeeper has this feature, but is commercial
software, Arch has it too, but is just too awfull to use. Furthermore I had a look at Monotone
which uses MD5 or SHA1 hashes as ID's for revisions, which IMHO is counterintuitive. And
then there's Darcs which works alright, but just hasn't been in use enough to know whether it is
stable. There's also SVK which is based on Subversion and provides distributed branches, but
I never tried that one.
So, because of the lack of a good VCS featuring distributed branches, I'm also using Subversion...
With friendly regards, Takis
