I'm not so sure. There are probably some folks who just don't like it, but=
=20
I think most of the comments I have heard are about specific issues in=20
subversion and how do we handle it. Some of them have focused more on the=
=20
problem than the solution, but so far I haven't heard anything that can't=
=20
be solved. Yes, some comments have been phrased discouragingly, but that=20
doesn't mean that solving the problems won't make the change happen.

We've had a fair bit of difficulty with CVS, and we've had to fix a number=
=20
of things. Given that we have a tool that meets many of our needs, I think=
=20
it's reasonable to expect the same (or almost the same) set of features=20
for anything that will replace it. And I don't really see that wanting a=20
comparable feature set really is being obstructionist.

Oh, subversion doesn't have an annotate command? That really knocks it=20
down in my book. While I may not need the annotate command often, when I=20
need it, I really really need it. So I guess we'll wait for the subversion=
=20
folks to add it. :-)

Take care,

Bill
