Good idea.

First note that there are plenty of relevant links in:

http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Configuration_Management/Tools/

And especially:

http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Configuration_Management/Tools/Subversion/

One of my particular favourites is:

http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/linux-info/scm.html

Which lists version-control and SCMs for Linux, with good summaries.

Check:

http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Configuration_Management/Tools/Subversion/

(again)

Subwiki, Kwiki:

http://subwiki.tigris.org/
http://www.kwiki.org/

There are probably many others.

There's a comparison between Arch, CVS and Subversion here:

http://www.fifthvision.net/open/bin/view/Arch/SubVersionAndCvsComparison

But it's rather tilted towards Arch.

The BitKeeper comparisons:

http://www.bitkeeper.com/Products.Comparisons.CVS.html

Do not include Subversion yet, and I don't expect them to do so soon,
because the entire BK site is at disarray.

When I set up the "Better SCM" site I wanted to have a comprehensive
comparison of CVS and the other accessible better alternatives available.
But I did not get to it yet. (do you think I should?)

SVN::Mirror and SVN::Web (http://svn.elixus.org/repos/member/clkao/)
ViewCVS (http://viewcvs.sourceforge.net)

You can link to the DMoz categories and to selected links from there (like
a link to CVS, Arch, etc.).

I think it's a great idea.
