Ah, you mean you are switching to SVN?
Ha ha, just my little joke.
Subversion is horrible.
Ok whats horrible about subversion ? I actually quite like it, and it's strange eccentric way of updating directory structures ... and deleting files... and that you can only checkout a folder and not a single file, which is fine for source code... But still. It's ok , it's just a tad 'special'. You don't tell it to do something, you coax it into doing it, often in a sneaky and underhanded way.
IMHO, the choices are git or mercurial. Git has some nice features, and some bad ones (rebase is useful, but bad for shared repositories.) The worst thing I've heard about git is that "the interface requires brains to remember how to use it".
I'm not sure I have brainpower to spare for remembering arcane VCS commands.
In contrast, mercurial doesn't do branching or rebase as well as it, but it took me 10 seconds to learn, and it hasn't gotten in my way... ever. It Just Works.
