Source Control Manager Backend
What do you think is a better approach for Source Control Manager Backend. I am weighing File system vs Hosted Subversion service.
Hosted Subversion--> (My company already has another group taking care of this)
Advantages:
* Zero maintenance on our end
* Auto-backup and recovery
* Reliability by auto-backup and file redundancy.
* File history view in built, file merge, file diff

On the other hand, while File system does not have the featured mentioned above but is much more simpler. Moreover, if files are hosted on Linux machine, which is backed up, it takes care of file system crash issues. Subversion will need working copies, which are going to be on this same Linux machine, and hence the need to not have an extra layer.

Folks, I am looking for stronger reasons why I should take Subversion instead of keeping thing simple and going with File System.

Let me know your opinions. Very thanks in advance, Gabriel.

PS: I have explored few Commercial Source Manager, and have decide to go this route as it better suits our need.
