I use subversion for a project at work, and it should be said that
subversion is not yet of "production quality". That is I've screwed up a
CVS repository only once in many years, while I have to run subversion
recovery tools almost every week (and during the last 3 months, I had to
re-initialize my svn repository from scratch from the last backup).
Subversion 0.20-1 seems much more stable than the previous versions, but
people using subversion for "important work" should be warned that
frequent (at least daily) backups at necessary.
This tendancy to screw up its repositary aside, subversion is very nice
and practical to use, but its current instability tends to shadow this.
