Artistic comments aside, is the trouble with the base SVN or (in
my opinon) with the SVN support in Eclipse? If base SVN is a problem
what about something like Git? CVS works well, but I don't think we need
to enumerate its deficiencies as to why ppl are considering other options.

Yes, it
was awesome. And rings so true. Luckily I was able to bail on using SVN (and
no that's not why I switched companies ;).
BTW,
this is exactly the kind of conversation I want to see on this list. We need
to build up the greater Eclipse committer community and start communicating
with eachother on matters that affect many of us. This SVN issue does as
projects consider moving their source control there. We need to do more of
this and work together to solve these issues.
Cheers,
Doug.
Like Ed, I was trying to stay out of this conversation, but
Peter's poem has moved me.
Peter,
Thank you very much for
the inspirational, heart-warming poem. The Webmaster team
understands your pain, and has adopted the poem as our team
anthem.

Hear! Hear! And I started
drinking way too much coffee due to SVN because it gives me ample time
... Last year I wrote my first poem ever (and likely last) during a
checkout:
Oh, how I long
for the days of CVS
When checkouts were a
bless
Updates found to be a breeze
And a build went in
a wheeze
Now we are old and wise
It is svn that I
despise
A simple checkout takes forever
And often it
ends never
It is hungry for files and
directories
About disk usage it has no worries
And
with its split personality
Using it from the shell has a
penalty
But alas, progress should not be
blamed
Directories can now be renamed!
A
sad SVN user
Ok, I won't pursue a career in this
area, but it illustrates my frustration ...
Kind regards,
Peter Kriens
