Efficient handling of binary files
Everything is versioned

I have been using subversion for almost a year now, and it is a very nice version control system. I would top my favorite features list with binary file support, easy refactoring, and atomic commits.

Versioning component:Which vnsiroeing component to use for the project. The choices are CVS, and SCM (based on Subversion). I understand your desire for a migration path. It is a big topic that we are discussing within both CollabNet and java.net teams. (And yes, Brian is certainly part of the discussion.Feel free to contact him if you like. )Thanks for the clarification. :-)Helen Chenjava.net Site Manager
