My experience with Subversion is that the clients suck. I have tried to setup repositories before, and the server seemed to run fine, but the clients would crash and act up on different OS, and there seem to not be as many clients available for Subversion as for CVS. This has been my experience. What version of Subversion are you using? Which clients are you using? For instance, I don't use Eclipse. I use Netbeans. I have wanted to use Subversion for a good while, but didn't have anyone to ask who was using it in the real world. For instance, source forge talked about Subversion a long while ago, yet they have never set it up. They were going to keep both cvs and subversion, and allow project to use either or, but subversion never came along. I don't know that many projects using Subversion yet either. I guess I'm wondering why it isn't widely used, and why there are not many clients for it. I would have thought there would have been a good Linux client for it, but never found one that ran correctly.....beside the command line.Hello,
is there already any plan to switch from CVS as source code repository to the successor "Subversion"? I think Subversion has now become quite stable, and we could take advantage of reworked new tool. Here you can read about all the new features compared to CVS: http://subversion.tigris.org/
There exists a python script "cvs2svn", which makes the conversion of the CVS repository quite easy. I shortly did this transition with two CVS repos, and found now problems. The complete history is preserved, and even tags and branches are available after.
On the client side there are available several different SVN clients. First of all there is the standard command line client. For integrated Java development there is Eclipse plugin called "Subclipse". And there is also a Explorer interface for MS Windows named "TortoiseSVN".
If there is interest, I could help in setting up the SVN server.

Martin
