    Topics: 1) Subversion
            by Josh Glover

I'd like to hear this talk but I'm not sure I'm going to be able to make it this weekend.  However, if anyone would care to wind Josh up:

1. merging worse in SVN compared to CVS.  In particular, you have to find the correct ancestor svn revision to merge from, a process that is automatically best-guessed in CVS and is correct 99% of the time.

2. When you want a diff to ignore the linebreak/formatting changes that some muppet committed: cvs diff -uBw just works, svn diff doesn't support the necessary options.

I actually quite like the tool, but there are places where it has yet to catch CVS up.
