With respect, not a hope in hell of me using Subversion in the near future. The reason being is that it's only just hit 1.0 and there's no way I'm going to trust my code (my livelihood) to something so immature. I still recommend CVS to my clients for this reason.
So because CVS is old you prefer to use that? CVS has some well-documented limitations, which SVN is designed to overcome (including the requirement for shell access).
The assumption that something that has "only just hit 1.0" is immature is pretty daft, don't you think? Some huge software projects out there are stress-testing SVN in contexts that (I suspect, knowing nothing of your clients) are far larger than anything you'll come across, without problems.
Seriously, it's worth taking a look at it. Don't dismiss it out of hand without at least doing a feature comparison and a poll of other users' experiences. FWIW, I've been using it for many months on some -very- large projects, with no problems whatsoever.
