"Subversion doesn't offer a method to resolve different line-ending and
carriage-return requirements for files being transferred between Windows
and Unix." Fascinating.
I think their "distributed development" row (which is actually just
about slow network links) kind of inverts the story. My muddled
understanding is that Perforce is much more dependent upon a fast
network link because you typically NFS-mount your working copy. So
yeah, they have a proxy caching server because they *need* one, and
Subversion doesn't because there's no real need. With Subversion, you
can work over a medium-latency network link without setting up any kind
of proxy and not feel much pain.
