This is drifting away from Commodores, but there is no need to leave
Emacs. Although the file-based revision control commands do not work
with Subversion, M-x svn-status works rather nicely, especially the
command "E" to highlight changes in Emacs diff. However, I usually
do commits on the command line, after carefully examining the output
of "svn status" and "svn diff".

I understand your pain, since we have a lot of branches in our main
repository at work.
However, there is not that much per-repository overhead in SVN, at least
if you use the FSFS backend. At home, I have a separate repository for
each project (my home page, and various pieces of software).
