[PLUG] subversion vs opencm?

[Jeff Abrahamson <jeff@purple.com>]

Subversion has been getting a lot of press recently in the debian
world as a CVS replacement

     http://svn.debian.org/

Meanwhile, OpenCM seems awfully promising and perhaps a better
alternative. Of the free CVS replacement contenders, in any case,
these two appear to top the heap.

    http://www.opencm.org/

Of course, the debian folks usually have good reasons for doing what
they do, but I'm curious if anyone here has actually spent time with
both and has any feedback.

There was some slashdot discussion this past Winter suggesting OpenCM
may be a bit more mature, and that the subversion folks have a sketchy
history with open source.

Cf also a nice list of lots of CM tools:

Subversion is in debian unstable. Neither is in debian testing.
