Well, I'm using subversion for some of my own projects, and so far the
best I can say is that subversion branches suck. They are dead easy to
create, but almost impossible to use except for one-shot branches or
straight branch-develop-merge workflow. They just don't work for
repeated merges back and forth between branches.
