I'm definitely positive to a migration to Subversion, but I'd be really concerned about using plain text authentication mechanisms. We won't use plain text, but we may (or, we currently do) use basic auth over ssl. The security then is in the passwords, so we have to make sure they're generated securely.

Users can generate their hashed password with the htpasswd command
locally, and send those to the server. That's what most subversion
hosts seem to prefer.
