Not sure I agree. With subversion, unless you have access to the  
server, you can't do version control. That precludes offline working.

For that very reason I have been using darcs. It allows me to do  
version control locally, and push the changes out to a server whenever  
I want/can.

Now darcs has some rough edges and I would not necessarily recommend  
it, though it works fine for me. Like others I have not yet found the  
time to check out Mercurial or Git, which I think offer similar  
features for offline work.
