SVK. :-)

[autrijus]

However I'm keeping my eye on it. When they support changesets and distributed repositories, as well as transparent CVS support for legacy clients, I'll be first in line.

In that case, do check out the svk project, which supports distributed repositories, transparent CVS mirroring, and has an almost identical command set as Subversion.

One thing I really like about svk is that it can choose to present itself as a "single stack of revisions" monolithic system, or as a "multiple stacks, star-merged back and forth" decentralized system, or even a "shallow stack of patch chains, swapped freely" system, based on the current needs of the user.

I am implementing a darcs-compatible command set and patch tracking algorithm for svk, which should be merged to the main trunk on 0.23 or 0.24,

Also, svk interoperates with existing p4, cvs, svn (and soon arch) repositories, as you don't have to convince everybody else to use the same system.

I sincerely encourage you to play with svk. The next biweekly release (0.22), to be released next Monday, would be an excellent choice.

Still no optional lock and merge tracking

Optional locks and merge tracking are the two features that are holding Subversion back from being a real candidate for production code.

I wrote about it here a few months ago http://www.gamesfromwithin.com/articles/0407/00002 6.html.

Fortunately, both those features are coming up soon by looking at Subversion's roadmap http://subversion.tigris.org/roadmap.html
