The working model, which is to say, the high-level design.  IOW,
Subversion is completely and utterly broken IMHO.  The reasons:

- centralised
- does not keep track of merges
- thinks a branch is a directory
- thinks a tag is a directory
- thinks there is only one project per repository
- makes it easy for one commit to mistakenly revert the previous
  commit (i.e. if you forget to merge into your working copy before
  you commit)

svk solves the first two problems, but if you work with svk and other
team members work with Subversion directly, you're in for trouble.
Not because of bugs, but because the very model is broken.  Been
there, done that (with the Debian packaging scripts for GCC).
