Re: Subversion advocacy

I'm also seeking commercial support. The company I work for will not
allow subversion to be used for the enterprise if we aren't paying
someone for support. I really only want subversion support, but if
nothing else is available, SourceCast may be the only option.

Any idea when SourceCast will be using subversion?

Thanks.
