True, but that’s not a killer for me. I hate its slew of dependencies,
not least apache2 and db4. Nice if you like that kind of thing, but it
means you have to svn dump your repos to get them into another system,
and it takes an afternoon to install it. yuk.
Since posting that , someone suggested building a static svn binary
to drop onto boxes, then you can do stuff like checkout /home or
/etc from a central server - sweet, you avoid all the deps and get
full VCS of all your files (and all your eggs in one basket 
).
The db4 dependency is not going away, but you can run SVN in a standalone
mode without using Apache2 and WebDAV. That’s how I run SVN now.
I originally set it up without apache, it was the db4 stuff I didn’t
like - apache2 has helpfully screwed my repo this morning, so now
I get to play with db4_recover, probably because it was only
group writable or some other nonsense. Yay for backups, eh?
