Well the project has just started and there isn't much code. The 
repository has only 6 revisions so it's hard to assess the stability of 
subversion. Installation and setup of apache + subversion on windows was 
remarkably easy. On the linux (Gentoo) system I do the development on, 
installing and setting up a subversion server was a no-brainer. I can't 
really give an indepth analysis of it yet, save to say that it's working 
for me.
