I'm curious about the reasons for FreeBSD adopting Subversion over the other candidate systems. I've read the pages discussing the pros and cons, but haven't found anything discussing the ultimate deciding factors. I ask not because I disagree with the decision, but because my company is currently facing a similar situation. We currently use Subversion but there is some interest in other tools. Understanding what "tipped the scales" as it were could prove valuable in our own decision making. Thanks. :) -- Milo Hyson Chief Scientist CyberLife Labs
