Small distributed team considering buying config management services
from a provider. They offer CVS and Subversion, but recommend the
latter.

So: Any horror stories with Subversion? Looking at its 'known
issues' list there appear to be a few potential gotchas.

Hi Richard,

We are using Subversion for approximately a half year developing SmartSVN
(we eat our own dog foot) and we never found a problem with it.

Last time I looked, Subversion support in Eclipse was not as nice as
CVS and that's been a factor for not migrating to SVN at work.

In any case, I've used CVS at work and I've learned to live with its
problems. I have only used Subversion at home (i.e. not using it for
team development, nor heavy duty branching), and it seems much nicer
than CVS, but I've heard some problems about Subversion's db backend
(corruptions, mostly), but if you back up regularly, that shouldn't be
a problem; or you could look into it's fs backend.
