My mentor in programming told me to always prefer what he called "one year 
old technology" - new enough for some competitive advantage, but old enough 
to have the worst bugs fixed.  Subversion isn't quite there yet for me.  :)

Ah well, I guess I'll have to learn it eventually.  I'm downloading the

package available.
