The lack of atomic changes to the trunk and to branches makes it very difficult to capture a point in time when everything is passing.
Exactly - that's the problem.
That is solved by SVN.
I wouldn't bet on it (well capturing the instant is how SVN works), but it's irrelevant anyhow. if you only "release" what on HEAD it doesn't matter than you cannot synch w/ branches.
I keep asking, if you only release what's on HEAD, how do you do point releases? And anyway, why this obsession with HEAD? In SVN, it's just another branch.
I've been saying for a little over a decade that dropping the "state" from CVS was a mistake and this hammers it home more than anything I've seen...but it's gone. One trusts that the Subversion folks weren't as blind.
