I like the idea of developers having their own branches, so they
can commit their work without affecting others.
A compromise to having private branches and developers committing to
trunk is to have an integration branch off the trunk, which developers
can do their work on.
To the OP, I don't see an issue to how you're using SVN; that's exactly
how we're using it; of course we only have 4 developers in my group) so
we're able to manage it.
