Experiences with Subversion

Simon Tatham, creator of PuTTY, has written down his experiences with Subversion. He touches on many topics including security, storage, and migration from CVS.

For those of you who don’t want to read the whole thing, his conclusion:

Although I’ve described some issues above which might or might not be considered bugs in Subversion, in general they’re easy enough to work around, and in most respects I think Subversion amply fulfills its promise of being ‘CVS, only done properly’. I like it, and I don’t regret migrating. I’d do it again.
