You really think I'm going to convince entire fortune 500 companies to just switch to subversion? Why not implement cvs? My guess is the reason subversion support sprung up so fast was because it was easier to code. More companies use CVS. Yes, subversion is much nicer, however when dealing with 99% of the companies (if you consult) you will be using a CVS server. Rather than changing every existing company over to subversion, why not support something that is already the standard for version control? That's like saying Mozilla Firefox is superior to Internet Explorer and I should just force every company I consult for, and all their client base to switch to Firefox. It won't work like that. I like subversion too, but in consulting with hundreds of companies I've only found one that actually used subversion.
I'm probably not at the same level of programming experience as you, but my experience in dealing with corporations is that the end user really doesn't care what the underlying code is, much less how the coder manages his code.
One of the (many) nice things about TextMate is that it is easily extensible through bundles. Why don't you make a CVS bundle that does what you want?
