So, now that the new machine is working, i'm starting to get a lot of
questions about moving to subversion.
If you're going to move to svn (which idea doesn't thrill me)
then I hope that the repo will be an FSFS one and not BerkeleyDB?
I realize that FSFS hasn't has as much airtime as BDB but I think
the FSFS model is intrinsically better than the BDB one. A
filesystem is a lot more likely to be bug-free than BDB is.
There are also a plethora of tools you can fix FS problems
with, but almost nothing you can fix BDB databases with.
