If it needs to be a centralize RCS, the I hope to SVN mainly because the git connectivity is so good, and it really works like just another git repository. How ever because SVN doesn't know how to tag or branch I don't think that the upstream use of branches will work that well.
This is my concern with SVN. Its idea of tagging and branching is naive and I find it confusing and also intensive when I end up checking out all the tags unintentionally. It seems like it would be difficult to translate our current tagging system to SVN and I am concerned that the amount of work to do so would be wasted effort. IMO, we have a lot more important problems to solve than this.
Yes this is my major concern with SVN, the total lack of tagging and branching support.

This just isn't accurate. Several posts in this discussion - not even all of them being mine - have indirectly or directly explained that svn does have branching/tagging.
Yes it does have very basic tagging/branching but when you compare this is git, dvcs, etc and even cvs they are head and shoulders above SVN tagging/branching Gordon.
