Curious about SCM choice

[Milo Hyson]

I apologize in advance if I have the wrong list for this, but it  
didn't really look like anywhere else was more appropriate.

I'm curious about the reasons for FreeBSD adopting Subversion over the  
other candidate systems. I've read the pages discussing the pros and  
cons, but haven't found anything discussing the ultimate deciding  
factors. I ask not because I disagree with the decision, but because  
my company is currently facing a similar situation. We currently use  
Subversion but there is some interest in other tools. Understanding  
what "tipped the scales" as it were could prove valuable in our own  
decision making.

Thanks. :)
