Work-Related Grumble

[cjsmith]

I officially hate SVN.

(Don't get me wrong; it's probably great for power users and people who never merge to/from a branch more than once or twice. Many thanks to preedmozblog, by the way, for pointing me at a tool that might replace my entire whiteboard for branch merge management. The problem I have with SVN is that when not everyone is a power user, or not everyone knows to track merges on their whiteboard, you get real trouble.)

A couple of neurons fired while reading this, but I was able to suppress them. :-)

I assume SVN = subversion? Is it much worse at branching than cvs is? I ask because we currently use cvs at work but some people have been making noises about switching to subversion, and if that will be bad then I should know to bother to object.

Are you using tags as they recommend in the FAQ?

Or, does that count as "power user"?
