Well I think Subversion the way it is today is already considerably
better. Just the directory versioning and the better performance would
already pay off in the PHP project.
No doubt that merge tracking is an added bonus but it's not exactly
applicable (yet) to the way we work in the project as we are mainly
doing selective merges. It would require us to somewhat rethink how we
want people to develop (i.e. branch per major feature, branch per mini
release, etc...).
Btw, I didn't recommend it because of changset tracking, but rather if
we make significant changes to our dev infrastructure we might as well
build it on the right foundations and moving to SVN will be inevitable
at some point. I think it already provides enough value today to start
considering it.
Also keep in mind that there are plenty of subprojects under
cvs.php.net. These tend to be a lot simpler on the branching/merging
side. So maybe these are good testing grounds to get some of the
infrastructure for karma management in place. And then once we start
feeling comfortable with things, then we are more prepared to move php
internals over.
