With SVN, you can dump specific revisions.  I was actually thinking about
writing a script that does incremental backups in this fashion.

So you could use "svnadmin dump -r25:26 > svn_dump/25.26.dump and then just
dump that file somewhere.

I really can't stress how useful and simple CVS (concurrent versioning
systems) systems have become.

I can't figure out why *everyone* isn't using something.  I mean seriously.
Takes 10 minutes to setup.
