At the end of the day, "rewrite the client" is basically the only
interesting feature left worth adding to Subversion. The Subversion
server is basically finished; it works fine, and has reached the end
of its extensibility. People looking for exciting new models and
functionality for version control should probably look at other
systems. Rewriting the client to be less fragile is a solid goal, and
that's what Greg and Hyrum are working on... but if it takes three
years and there are no other svn releases in the meantime, I don't see
what the problem is. Subversion, nearly a decade in, is pretty stable
and basically works.
