At $JOB, we moved to subversion from CVS about 2-3 years ago. We're
still using subversion for everything, and use svnmerge.py [1] to manage
development and release branches. It isn't ideal, as you lose
information about the individual commits within a merged patchset, which
makes it a minor pain to back out a specific commit from a merged
patchset.

Other features we're looking forward to is read-only slaves that post
back commits to a global master site, which would greatly please our
North American colleagues, save them from having to pull repos from over
the pond.
