BTW, I use SVN all the time, and it works well for me. I am eventually going to move to git (it's Linux only so far, is high performance, and does not rely on having a repository server), though I haven't figured out how to do merges with conflicts in git yet. See Linus Torvalds' presentation on it at Google: (does a good job of explaining what is meant by distributed revision control) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8
