Subversion 1.5 is out and its been almost half year to it. Now thought comes to mind where to go from here, Subversion has still a long way to go from here, Subversion developers should not content with accomplishments in 1.5 its still a long way for Subversion to go to be an enterprise software, having said that I would also like to point that penetration of Subversion in enterprise environment has considerably increased but still it has an uphill task and I am sure that Subversion development team is aware of same.
I am big fan of Subversion thats why I sometime ponder about its future, when I see fanatics talking about GIT, Clearcase and Perforce. I was really saddened when Linus trovalds in his speech said “whole point the Subversion project started is wrong” but I have not found anything wrong with the tool, may be I am not as capable as Linus and neither I am into kernel development but Subversion works pretty well for me and so does for my organization, and there are many other Subversion works for them too.
There is a big wish list which people might have for Subversion but I would say to Subversion developer community add the features which are good for tool as whole and keep in mind that Subversion is version control first anything else later.
