Currently there are a few issues I have with subversion, most  
important being the fact that it doesn't do tagging; it just pretends  
to do so. Then for this type of project, a distributed version control  
system might work better. Git is one of the more popular at the  
moment, but I think Bazaar (bzr) has a few things that makes it  
friendlier to the non-hardcore programmer.

I'm also thinking that in the long run it would be nice to use the  
same version control as for the tests. That's where some extra care on  
choice can really pay off.
