SPUG: Subversion

[Daniel Sabath]

I've heard that bitkeeper is a good product. It is the system that 
Linus uses to maintain the kernel.

Now, given that the comparison is at the bitkeeper site, I would be a 
bit leary of just accepting it...and a brief google search turns up 
this.
http://subversion.tigris.org/bitmover-svn.html (at the official 
subversion site)

Incidentally that article mentions a problem with the bitkeeper license 
at the bottom. Who is right and who is wrong is left up to the reader.

I've been happily using subversion for quite some time. It does what I 
need and I'm working on integrating it into my work environment.
