It basically uses a whole bunch of directories and uses a scheme very similar to RCS to store the versioning content. > while SVN uses Berkeley DB as I read once. SVN initially only had Berkeley DB and it drove people nuts. In particular it used to keep getting wedged and required manual administrator intervention to fix. See this and the two following questions: http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#stuck-bdb-repos SVN added a filesystem based backend using a directory to store the deltas for each revision and that is by far the most popular. The moral of the tale is to make sure your backend database library never needs human attention. I always wondered why they didn't use SQLite.
