Hi all,

Thank you all for your opinions!

Perhaps my situation is closest to Romeo's.  I'm not doing 
sysadmin work, but I work in teams in size ranging from 1 
person to...ohhhhh...1 person.  :-)  Sometimes it is more 
than that but for the most part, I don't have to worry about 
write locks.

What I disliked about CVS was how each file had a different 
version.  Perhaps that was meant to give flexibility, but it 
was awfully confusing.  Also didn't like the version numbers 
with decimals.  So, SVN fixed my two biggest gripes.

Since I don't worry about sharing access, I use SVN mainly 
for backing up and in this sense, having a local repository 
is unimportant to me.  What is important is whether my files 
are backed up.  In this sense having a network or USB 
storage with any revision control system would satisfy my 
limited needs.

Perhaps my only reason for going to git is if development on 
Subversion stops.  If it does happen in a few years, as you 
predict Stephen, then perhaps it would be better to go on my 
own terms...  Given the number of you using it, I guess I 
don't want to be left behind...  :-)

I'll at least install git and start off slowly since 
Subversion is satisfying my current needs...

Thank you all for your comments and enjoy the rest of this 
weekend!
