[SLUG] version control... svn vs arch

[Taryn East <slug@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
                                                                                
well I'm currently in the process of migrating to a new computer and am
at the "picking funky packages" stage...
                                                                                
now, at home I had been using cvs as version control - and I know it's
getting dated.
                                                                                
At work they have started using svn (subversion, that is) and it seems
pretty ok to me... however I happened to overhear part of a conversation
at SLUG the other day where someone was saying that ?arch (I think) was
better? but didn't get to hear why...
                                                                                
now... at the risk of starting some sort of religious war... I was
wondering if those that have tried both would be willing to tell me the
relative strengths of the two... or point me at a reliable source for
such information.
                                                                                
They both seem to fit what I need as just a personal user with a
repository for only a few projects... but I figure if I'm going to be
starting from scratch anyway - I might as well pick the one more suited
to my needs.
                                                                                
Cheers and thanks,
Taryn
