Success story: Subversion in heavy production

I know this is not a "marketing" mailing list, but I really wanted to share
this with you:

The past few years, our company has been using CVS and SourceSafe to manage
our versioning needs. There have been several problems with these systems,
especially with SourceSafe since it has serious issues when the teams are
distributed (both technically and paradigm-wise.)

Then we discovered Subversion. Our concerns about the stability and maturity
of SVN (since it was a 0.24 version back then) soon faded away and about two
weeks ago we decided to port ALL of our projects into Subversion. Before
that, we testet Subversion heavily on a few medium-size projects, with only
a couple of minor problems - like internationalization - but we quickly
found the work-arounds we needed.

Most of our programmers now use TortoiseSVN on the client, while "power
users" use the svn command line client. Both of them works out great.

The migration was surprisingly simple, due to the well-written SVN Book,
some clever scripts and a very responsive Subversion community.

So Keep Up The Good Work!
