I've been using SVN happily for almost a year now.  It works nicely
even on Windows.  I've never had much use for the rename support, but
I really like the atomic commits, with a single revision number for
the whole repository.  It's way easier to track changes (either that
or I have never really understood CVS).  Also, the really cheap
branches / tags are quite nice.

No problem on Windows, never managed to get the ICU distributed with
parrot running, anyway.

The precompiled ICU 3.2 on VC++ 7.1 is good on Windows.  They renamed
F<lib/icudata.lib> to <lib/icudt.lib> from 3.0 to 3.2, though.
