For point 1, which repository access method are you using (http, svn, file)?

The rest of the company was using Source(un)Safe. Some recent management changes have allowed us to consider changing a significantly larger part of the company over to subversion. I have only a few concerns:

I saw a long term goal on the subversion website entitled "rewrite of working-copy library". Would that be for speed? If so, could I motivate you to make it a medium term goal? If it's not for speed, could I add a request for some speed improvements on the client for consideration as a medium term goal?

Some other developers who currently use Source(un)safe use shared files or linked files which are similar to hard links on linux, so they can include a file into their own directory structure. I find this to be a hideous practice but I want to find out what will happen if we export our Source(un)Safe database into subversion. We are planning on stopping the shared file practices ASAP but I'm just curious about the conversion process.

I will NEVER go back - I couldn't - I'm too spoiled now. Keep up the excellent work! Let me know if I can help in any way also. Thanks!
