I highly recommend it.  I've been using it for several months now.  I 
never really learned CVS, but I really like Subversion.  It does a 
lot of things CVS can't, and everything that CVS can, but better
(like versioning binary objects (yeah, CVS claims it can, but it's a 
mega-kludge ))

No, nothing like that all.

As I said, I've been using it for some time here, and have even 
started using it at home.  I've got almost my entire home directory 
at home under svn, and now I can easily make branches of things like 
my .emacs and .procmailrc files for work, home, etc. and merge 
changes back into the mainline, etc.

You're welcome.

	It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
   but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
