Good luck, guys.  The svn developers really want you guys to be happy;  
Mono is a high profile project, so if svn works out for you, it makes 
us look good too.  :-)

Remember that #svn isn't the only way to get advice or help.  
dev at subversion.tigris.org and users at subversion.tigris.org reaches a 
much larger audience of svn experts... feel free to write with 
questions.
