A number of reasons, but mainly because the Subversion manual's own comparison points out that it's much simpler to setup and faster to use. The only feature we might have used that we've lost out on this way is per-directory access control, but that's no great loss IMNSHO.

There's no need. Plain old svn has now been tested on various machines and works OK. Yours is the only failure I've heard of :-(

OK, just tried a telnet to the svn port (3690) from my machine here (at home), which is unknown to any of the firewalls where the dev box is - I get a response like:

( success ( 1 2 ( ANONYMOUS ) ( edit-pipeline ) ) )

What do you get?
