I’ve been meaning to move to Subversion for quite a while, now. Maybe it’s been a year, I don’t know. I’ve been using it for Module::Starter, but that’s because Andy owns the repo for that. I used it for minicpan2, but that hasn’t been very active. Every time I start some new chunk of code, I think, “I should put this into svn!” Then I think, “but I’m not sure how I’m supposed to do that trunk/tags/branches thing, and I think I screwed up my repository to begin with, and isn’t all this thinking about svn just a way to shave yaks while I put off writing the code?” Maybe it was, but “needing to get the code committed right now” was a reciprocal yak-shaving to keep me from moving to svn.
