[PD-dev] SVN?

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

A distributed repository sounds interesting, but given Linus  
Torvald's love of KDE, constant dissing of usability, and the fact  
that git has 119 commands, this gives me pause.

Sounds like software designed for someone with an encyclopedic  
memory. I really only use 8 commands in CVS (update, commit,  
checkout, add, remove, tag, diff, import).
