He says SVN is better, but is more fragile (which for source control, I interpret as being worse):
SVN fixes (supposedly) those "implementation
suckiness" issues. ...
I think it's also a much more fragile setup and
there's apparently been people who lost their
entire database to corruption
Even if SVN = CVS, clearly Tarballs > SVN, according to him. His actual quote was Tarballs >> CVS. I can dig it up if you can't.
Thousands of companies (and millions of developers) use Subversion. It's 10 year old. It's an Apache project now. It's solid. It's a simple and easy to use tool that will make your life better. That's all.
Why do you say that I find this personally offensive?! You are not making a lot of sense. I'm just quoting Linus who probably had more experience with various VCSs than any of us.
