The main functional difference is that Subversion is designed to optimize 
network traffic at the expense of keeping an extra (unmodified) copy of the 
source. Although I don't know of a port to BeOS, it probably wouldn't be too 
difficult to port if someone wanted to. It needs the Apache Portable Runtime 
(APR) library and Berkley DB, and can be compiled with GCC.

Heya,

While I do realize pretty much anything is better than CVS, and most revision control systems are pretty similar, I'm biased towards Perforce, so here's a little comparison for those who think CVS is "good enough", and are intimidated by a possibly switch to something else:

http://www.perforce.com/perforce/cvs.html (possibly skipping the Money section).
