General Development 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.

RE: DB vs Files
by Colin Jensen on Fri 20th Feb 2004 16:54 UTC

Subversion's DB can be dumped into a flat file which is similar in taste to RCS files. There are example checkin scripts which automatically dump incrementally into flat ascii files.

So don't worry about the non-regular files used. It's not a problem.

I've been using SVN for over a year now with a FreeBSD/apache server, and checking out onto a Windows, FreeBSD, and Mac OSX. I'm a very happy camper.
