You don't need to checkout anything to make comparisons, as much as Svn 
supports better offline support, it also supports much better online 
support.

Eg to compare the root makefile of SOPE 4.4 and SOPE 4.5 w/o checking 
out anything:
  svn diff \
    http://svn.opengroupware.org/SOPE/branches/4.4/GNUmakefile \
    http://svn.opengroupware.org/SOPE/trunk/GNUmakefile

Subversion is definitely worth the move. It has plenty of convenient 
features.
