I get the feeling that, since it's only a subset of developers (David
originally wrote "a couple of developers..." which implies to me that
the majority are not reporting issues), this is more about those
developers who are complaining resisting the change to Subversion
because they're set in their ways and not them having valid issues
with the system itself.
Or, maybe their systems are misconfigured.
