  sure it is, but if you were in jeremy's position and were asked to
make a case for moving on up to svn, how would you do it? in most
cases, any argument for migrating to a new piece of software will be
met with, "but XYZ has worked for us so far, i don't see any need to
change."

  most people on this list are technically adept with subversion.
where's the marketing? where's the ammunition that jeremy could take
into a meeting with his new bosses?
