RE: [GD-General] Re: file synchronization software

Just to put in a good word for subversion. Here is a bit of their mentality.

[snapped from http://www.red-bean.com/sussman/svn-anti-fud.html]
When Subversion hit "alpha" it was already being used by dozens of private
developers and shops for real work. Any other project probably would have
called the product "1.0" at that point, but we deliberately decided to delay
that label as long as possible. Because we're talking managing people's
irreplaceable data, the project was extremely conservative about labeling
something 1.0. We were aware that many people were waiting for that label
before using Subversion, and had very specific expectations about the
meaning of that label. So we stuck to that standard. All it takes is one
high-profile case of data loss to destroy an SCM's reputation.

1.0 was released today (Monday).

What specifically about SVN right now do you feel makes it not mature?

I've switched over to it, and it absolutely cleans the floor with CVS.
