John and I have been using SVN for a while for a joint project, and I finally decided it's time to switch my repositories for my personal projects. I got SVN and CVS2SVN installed easily, thanks to portage, but it was getting SVN set up that was a challenge. I found the documentation left something to be desired, and my big issue was attempting to use SSH to connect to the repository. For some reason, SSH wanted me to log in three times, which is fine (but annoying) for command line interaction, but I want to use Subclipse with Eclipse, and this was not possible. I did some poking around google and found this link that talks about setting up a permenant connection via SSH to SVN so you don't have to log in multiple times. Seemed to work for me, and now I am off to some coding.
