Most Subversion developers are volunteers. Four of us are paid to work
on SVN for our day-jobs, and we can 'schedule' our own time and make
deadlines for ourselves. But we don't have that same sort of
managerial control over all the other developers. So Subversion
doesn't have strict timelines or deliverable dates, not like what you'd
see in an in-house software project.
We're working on the locking feature now. That's the "main" feature in
svn 1.2. In fact, next week I'm planning to send a functional-spec and
implementation-spec to the dev@ list for discussion. It's going to
take a lot of discussion. No idea when it will be finished. We've
been spending the last 2 months trying to stabilize and release svn
1.1, so we're now at the very beginning of 1.2 work.
