This will make more work for the server administrator though.

I would enjoy having all of Octave on one SVN server (mostly because I
would much prefer SVN on both Octave and Octave Forge).

Administering subversion is really not difficult or time-consuming, as
I saw again while setting up the example server.

Send Andy your public keys (ssh-keygen, without passwords) in order to
receive access to the server.  Please try it out and tell us about
anything that might hinder the adoption of this improved revision
control system.

I'm fine with subversion so long as there are other major projects that have been using it for a while and are happy.

I notice that R is using it, and after a bit of apt magic to get subversion on my system I could download the latest revision.
