Arch follow-up Jeff Davis comments: In fairness to Arch it's worth noting David Wheeler's conclusion: "Personally, although I'd be happy to use subversion on others' projects, I personally plan to use GNU Arch; its warts are numerous, but I think they'll be rapidly fixed and GNU Arch has a tremendous amount of promise."
