[JBoss-dev] Test Subversion Repository now live

[Scott Marlow]

Hi Bela,

I hope you enjoy your vacation!  :)

We have been using Subversion internally at Novell for a few years now.
One advantage of SVN on CVS is that changes are atomic.  If I change the
world and checkin, all of the source modules are checked in as one
atomic change.  If 99 of 100 files are checked in but the last check in
fails, the other 99 files aren't checked in either.

If two developers change the world and checkin around the same time, one
of them will be forced to merge with the other before "any" of their
changes are taken.  This means that the build should be less broken in
the future (at least it won't be because of concurrent modifications).  

I also like the simple "svn status -q" command that I can enter in the
source root folder and see what a list of all my changes (I have a perl
script that does the same for cvs).

Intellij does have svn support but I'm not sure how good it is (I'm
using the command line).
