I thought I was reasonable specific.... if the server is incapable of
surviving a failed transaction with the client... which it is.. then
subversion is useless in a distributed development group.
The problem is two fold...
(a) the server can get messed by the client failing to complete cleanly.
(b) this can the entire repository to become inaccessible to all others.
It doesn't matter what the cause of (a) is, it happens.
CVS, which we've reverted to using, fails point (a) but the damage caused is
very isolated.
(b) is a show stopper.
