Re: Why Subversion?

Almost all of the capability of ClearCase without the massive licensing
and maintenance expense, lack of portability, etc. The repository-wide
revision numbering takes a little while to get used to and may not fit
assumptions already in place elsewhere in your process, but after a
little use, it is sometimes more useful (and definitely less ambiguous)
than the file-specific revision numbering. Key capabilities (for us)
not available in most of the other open-source and reasonably-priced
packages include directory and file move/rename without losing the
history thread, much easier installation and maintenance (especially so
if you use svnserve instead of Apache), easy use across a wide-area
network, and the nice intuitive TortoiseSVN user interface.
