[svk-users] Is svk a real production option?

[Raoul Duke]

I haven't used SVK in maybe a year. Back when I did, it was at a place
where everybody was using SVN and only I used SVK. On the whole it was
worth it, although there were times when it showed that SVK doesn't
quite have the large community that SVN has (I had to hack-fix some of
the Perl scripts, I had to do some things to get it working with my
Diff tool, I had some trouble with the properties being set, I managed
to blow away somebody else's changes once due to some synchronizing
problem). If your whole team were willing to get onto the SVK
bandwagon, and if you could convince or hire somebody to become the
SVK guru (by reading the code and all that) I think it would be nicer
since it is more powerful and cleaner (no .svn directories) than SVN.
Right now I'm back to using SVN and don't have the mental energy to
try getting set up with SVK again, especially since I am using the
Subclipse thing in Eclipse.

(But no matter what you use, always keep good backups, checkpointed as
often as possible.)
