The biggest thing for us is subversion's ability to use svn 'external'
properties at any point in a tree to reference any other svn URL.
Checkouts and updates automatically pull in those other locations into
your working copy. That lets each component of a large project have
its own release schedule by tagging versions and the consuming
projects can each advance the versions they use as they are ready
simply by changing their external references. And an automated
build system like jenkins will see anything new and rebuild as needed
simply by polling the top level project.
