I would completely agree here, but IMO it's a strange way to decide.

SVN is nice but has the disadvantage of requiring svn-load-dirs. Yeah,
TortoiseSVN is very nice, but it's not going to automate the importing
of SL source for you (unless they added that and I didn't notice)

SVK, Git, and other systems of the sort support a development model
that's much more comfortable for SL development.

Now, I really like SVN and been using it for years, but from my own
experience, trying to use SVN and keeping up with LL development takes
some effort and has quite significant disadvantages that a pretty GUI
can't fully fix.
