Sorry, I just can't let your second to last remark pass: SVN is snapshot based.

  Until 1.7 (?) they used .svn/ in each directory. They since switched to a different storage arrangement. I don't know how good or bad it is now. Early on I've seen situations where the workspace got corrupted to the point where I needed to wipe it out and do a clean check out.

    Yeah I don't know, I haven't used SVN in a while, but one thing I certainly did miss when moving to git is that SVN has a revision number for the entire repository [x], which was very handy for build identifiers and the like. [x] any change to any file or property increments the overall revision number so you can always retrieve the entire state of the repo at any particular point in time.
