All I remember from our SVN days was the constant disasters. It seemed like everything you tried to do more complicated than changing a couple lines would put the whole system in some horrible state that required gross things exactly like what this article was talking about (coping directories back an forth). And then, all that directory copying would just as likely make everything worse because the 400 little .svn directories were no longer consistent. Good riddance.
