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

I sent that link to the people at Subversion and they say that it isn't true
at all. Many people use large repositories with subversion.

Read this: http://www.red-bean.com/sussman/svn-anti-fud.html
It clears up a lot of claims that isn't true regarding Subversion.

The Gentoo team recently tried to test it with their portage tree.  It
seems there are still a couple issues with big repositories.  May have
been worked out in 1.0 though.

The migration tools need some work.  The svn team is using one of the
BSD trees to test with.  (Don't remember if it was NetBSD, FreeBSD, or
OpenBSD)

The subversion team does use svn themselves.

I use it at home.  I like it a whole lot more than cvs.
