svn diff uses locally saved copies of files. This increases speed by trading for the disk space. It also decreases net traffic; that's important for those who have expensive connections.

Fast and cheap in terms of space; Subversion uses a kind of symlinks in its internal filesystem.

make simple applications of branches much more pleasant than under CVS.

Much more pleasant. I now use more branches than I did with CVS and have less conflicts.

* = svn:eol-style=native

I would very much like to recommend developers to set svn:executable property on executable scripts and unset it on non-executable files; thus all those README and NEWS will be tarred with -rw-r--r-- attributes. :)
