On Monday, the Subversion project is scheduled to release version 1.0 of their version control system, under development for several years now. Subversion was intended from its inception as the CVS replacement and it comes with many important features previously found only on commercial VCS like Perforce. It was designed for better remote performance, and it is multi-platform with a GUI/CLI front-end.

Hello,
From an industry perspective I would rather have the file layout of cvs. I know from personal experience about DB and source control and it was just bad. The product was continus and It used informix. Well there was no direct support for manageing the DB. In fact the vendor and "local experts" said there was no reason to "worry about" the database. 3 days later the drive filed up by a developer and a runaway and the databse crashed.
At least with files I could get tape backups easily.
Also CVS supports the RCS $ ID $ etc tags. These are
(IMNSHO) required for solid code. can Subversion do
this?
