[vtkusers] vtk-developer list?

Subversion does support it, but it kinda brings it's own "uniqueness" to the 
situation. 

(warning, comments are based on some very limited experience with it) 
With subversion you no longer have independant file versions, but a single 
"repository version". So while you can move files and rename them, you no 
longer have individual file histories or versions. Also, things like 
"tagging" and "branching" don't really exist in subversion, but are 
basically replaced by copying all the files in the repository into a 
(possibly read-only, in the case of a TAG) sub-directory. You get the same 
functionality, in a slightly different manner.
