I've been whining a lot, so let me take a moment to say how wonderful something is: Subversion. It feels SO GOOD to be using an actually excellent SCM tool once again.
At my last job, while in general they did a pretty good job with Builder Tools, they were inexplicably shackled with Perforce, which I'd have to term mediocre at best. Before that, I was stuck with Clearcase, a complex, overpowered nightmare only a consultant could dream up.
In contrast, Subversion Just Works. It's fast, making the hard things simple and the easy things comfortingly reliable. I'm happy. Cutting a new branch or release becomes a time of joy rather than heartache and pain. Let's give it up for svn!
(And thank you, Judd, for teaching me the value of PCR branching, and pds for getting me into CVS in the first place!)
