Not true in my experience. Every place I've worked in the last couple  
of years has had to deal with developers that don't always have  
online access to the repo, or are in locations where connectivity  
sucks so badly to their home location that it might as well not exist.

In fact every place I've every worked ever has had those problems -  
its just that we only had solutions recently :-)

Don't get my wrong. I love Subversion. My home repo has been running  
it for years and I'm in the process of moving $work over to it.

But I've been using SVK to as my primary client to access those  
repositories for ages - and I wouldn't want to go back to not being  
able to commit on the train :-)

Cheers,

Adrian
