I haven't personally got into the bowels of it, but our resident PVCS  
weenie did tell me that if you base your release and source  
management off of how PVCS handles revisions internally, you can  
squeeze a lot of performance out of it. As long as you don't have  
large binary objects or a number of files in the directory that would  
overfill the table, PVCS will purr like a kitten.

When it comes to Web 2.0, I remember the words of a Microsoft  
employee whose name escapes me right now. "XML is a solution looking  
for a problem."
