[TxMt] How Long Must We Wait for CVS Support?

[Jonathan Ragan-Kelley]

I can name two I've worked for with over 50 employees: Industrial
Light & Magic and Tippett Studio.

You're right, though, that SVN isn't the end-all version control
system in the real world, but neither is CVS.  The order of the day
with huge commercial development is Perforce -- of companies with whom
I've worked, ILM, NVIDIA, ATI, and *Microsoft* all do most of their
version control through Perforce -- and TextMate's Perforce support is
plenty usable.

Even this line of argument falls flat, however, when considering how
many "fortune 100 companies" (as though they're the primary market for
software development tools) do primary development on OS X, in the
first place.
