This topic was discussed on internals around the end of May 2007 here:

title: better changeset tracking
 http://marc.info/?t=118036801200001&r=1&w=2 

Many pros and cons are listed and also notice the word "inevitable" is used
at least a few times... ;-)

I am not sure if I am supposed to post my feelings here...
anyway, if we had an election now, I would say:

SVN(-1);

Just updating some of these points to current reality:

2. svn tools not available in all distros by default
 - long since incorrect, in fact incorrect since before this page was last
edited. most distros have subversion available.

4. developers will need to learn to do some things differently
 - The only difference to someone with CVS experience is that svn status is
useful unlike cvs status and that tags and branches have a different base
url.

5. is svn as flexible with encoding as CVS?
 - considerably more so. its all hanlded via svn: special properties. and
defaults for these can be set by file type in your .svn configuration.

6. svn doesn't have real tags
 - thank god. how many times have you created a tag and need to come back
and turn it into a branch? the under lying system should place limitations
upon how you use it, those limitations should only be agreed upon and
implemented by the people using the system.

I switched to SVN from CVS back before 1.0.0 and have not looked back.
Including on several projects that make PEAR look simple in comparison.

Rereading I see that the $Id$ mentions per-file numbering and indeed this
will not be.

With keywords you can get the $Id$ replacement working.

We could use per "subproject" subversion repositories:

http://svn.php.net/bugweb
http://svn.php.net/phpsrc
http://svn.php.net/phpweb
http://svn.php.net/pear

etc.
