I tried Arch and found it impossible to use; and really impossible to explain 
to co-workers that just want to commit. Its very clear the main architect is 
a long time c-hacker. As arch does not really fit OO code structuring very 
well.  It certainly failed miserably in the error handling and (therefor) 
usability department.

I never tried subversion; but I still plan to do a pilot on it for my 
companies development team.
