Its lack of performance, its lack of atomicity, etc. etc. Personally I'm a happy Subversion user. I also observe that a closely related large GNU project -- GCC -- uses Subversion. So all things being equal that's the one I would prefer. Git I've used once or twice, really just for fetching current sources for projects that use it. That seemed to work ok. It does seem to have its collection of partisans. Assuming that it too has the atomicity properties that any real source control system has to have, that would be an acceptable replacement as well. Whatever is picked, I agree, it's time to get rid of that antique junk. paul
