I learned that the google's code site is employing SVN to host their open source projects
see code.google.com for more details.

I want to be clear ... It is not an argument that I wish to use... But companies want to know that before to use it...
Unfortunately, companies make their choices like that in real life ... :o(

Objet? RE: Big companies using Subversion ?
You shouldn't use this kind of argument to convince folks to use Subversion
.
You should work as the repository administrator for at least 12 months
while using it on a real project on which you are working, and also
have other teams use that same repository. Get past the "romance" stage
of using Subversion
and get to the point where you actually have to deal with its strengths and
weaknesses. Then, decide for yourself whether or not it is worth it.
If you want to convince people to use some technology because "big companie
s"
use it, then an easy argument is to use Microsoft.
