SourceForge has begun a beta rollout of Subversion version-control service. I've
signed us up for this, so at some point in the next few days hopefully we should
have source over in SVN instead of / in addition to CVS.
In addition to the general niceties of SVN (atomic multi-file commits!),
anonymous access will not be delayed as it is on SF's CVS. This means that
people who aren't signed up on our sourceforge project will now be able to get
commits immediately with a 'svn up'.
Subversion's command-line interface is mostly like CVS, so Unixy types shouldn't
have much trouble getting used to it. There's a TortoiseSVN for Windows types
who are used to TortoiseCVS.
