I don't know what you meant by your last sentence.

I will say that in my experience, Emacs support for Subversion is not 
as complete as for CVS.

For example, I had to hack up my own additions to vc-svn.el to get M-x 
vc-annotate functionality.

I don't know what Mitch's needs are.  Maybe the standard vc-svn.el will 
serve them perfectly.  But it wasn't good enough for me.
