I can't say that SVN has _never_ been used (abused?) as a change 
management tool, but I can't imagine that it is common practice to do 
so.  As Charles mentioned, Unix/Windows people normally use a 
combination of tools (make/ant + SVN/CVS + unit testing tool) to provide 
CM functionality.

You mentioned earlier that you didn't think that 'make' was available 
for i5/OS.  Alan Campin has a make-like tool called COMPILE.  I'm not a 
user but I hope to be eventually.

I'd suggest researching make, ant and COMPILE before taking the plunge. 
 They may well do enough for your needs.
