Why SVN still sucks
Because it still is very intuitive for basic things like reverting a file back to a previous version.
ez-3.5$ svn merge -r 9201:9200 kernel/classes/ezcontentobject.php svn: REPORT request failed on '/svn/nextgen/!svn/vcc/default' svn: Invalid editor anchoring; at least one of the input paths is not a directory and there was no source entry ez-3.5$ svn merge -r9201:9200 http://host/trunk/kernel/classes/ezcontentobject.php svn: REPORT request failed on '/svn/nextgen/!svn/vcc/default' svn: Invalid editor anchoring; at least one of the input paths is not a directory and there was no source entry ez-3.5$ cd kernel/classes ez-3.5/kernel/classes$ svn merge -r9201:9200 http://host/trunk/kernel/classes/ezcontentobject.php U ezcontentobject.php

Are you being sarcastic?
Not at all, SVN might fix a few CVS annoyances, but it adds a whole lot of them too. This is just one example.
You mean UNintuitive, no?
Right, UNinituitive
Derick's pointing out the fact that you have to live with other issues with svn which are highly annoying but then again cvs also has other annoyances.
SVN tool support in eclipse/windows is poor. Subclipse, subversive and Tortoise all corrupt my repository on a bi-weekly basis. Not the actual source under version control, but the internal meta-info files that SVN keeps. In addition SVN triples the data kept on your local machine resulting in both disk bloat and terribly slow synch times for non-trivial projects.
Worst thing is once corrupted, the "cleanup" command rarely works.
Wait for this to settle down (it's 11/2006 as I write this) before you jump in in a commercial dev envirionment.
