Quoting Jeff Kowalczyk <jtk@...36...>:
When I see mention of various cool features that developers have running in a private sandbox, I think it speaks to Inkscape's extreme need for a source repository that provides better support for branching and merging.
FWIW, the last time I looked at SVN, in practice SVN's branches are even worse than CVS's.

If we went with SVN, we'd really want to use something like SVK atop it to make branches actually usable.
Personally though, my favorite SCM at the moment is git.
