We have been using Subversion for a few months now. dav_svn is painfully slow and we quickly moved to using svnserve+ssh. It's not quite as fast as CVS but tolerable.
That would require local users. On the machine that runs the repository, this is not feasible, unfortunately (so CVS would be no option)
and it is also less convenient, since there is no real equivalent of ssh-agent for svn.
I take it you don't know about svnserve?
How does that help me in not having to type the password on each commit? I was shocked that svn would store the password typed *in the clear*, and in some release even *in the sandbox*. Now it still stores it in the home directory, which isn't much better... If you disable that, you have to type the password every time. svn+ssh-agent would be a solution, but, as I said, not in our case. Regards, Martin
