Yeah, re: Subversion branches, I was mostly thinking about the case
where I'm going to make some huge set of breaking changes over many
days, and that's all I'm working on, and when I'm done I merge it back
and the branch is gone.  I can see how svn would be less than optimal
for other usages, with many branches and lots of switching.
