Since it doesn't preserve timestamps or permissions, it's something
that we wouldn't consider in $dayjob.
Does subversion preserve these?
I am sure that when working, Subversion is the coolest thing since
sliced bread. What turned me off to it is that its operating/runtime
requirements are much more substantial than CVS due to its use of a
complex database. Subversion itself does not seem nearly as portable
as CVS. Subversion is not useful (to me) if its client can not be
easily compiled in (or downloaded for) every modern target
environment. Maybe things have improved since I tried last.
