I've been using subversion for a long time. It used to be that the subversion
ebuild in gentoo was terrible and unusable, but this has not been the case
for a long time. I've been using subversion both as a client and a server
(using apache2) on gentoo with no problems for quite a while.
Subversion development has been moving very quickly Each release is
considerably more stable than the last one.
It wouldn't surprise me if the ebuild stayed masked until subversion proceeds
into the beta phase of its development, but I've been using it for ALL my
version control needs for well over a year now. As long as you pay careful
attention to the changelogs when you upgrade (in case you need to dump /
reload your repositories) you shouldn't have much in the way of problems.
