[Tfug] Document management?

We share a lot of documents inside the company using Subversion and 
never had a problem. We use TortoiseSVN in Windows, so I'm not sure how 
it would be without a nice UI like that or if Linux has something similar.

Previously we used Unison and it was a major pain - not very reliable 
and frequent conflicts.

For items that don't change much we use a mounted NFS share over a 
"permanent" OpenVPN connection.
