We're using TortoiseSVN (a subversion client for Windows) The problem you identified with Subversion can (same as git) also be solved by creating you own branch of the trunk. You can commit unstable changes/revert/etc without messing up the public (release-ready) trunk. Once you are happy with your code, you reintegrate your branch back into the trunk. Granted, it is a bit tricky to keep your branch updated with changes on the trunk if you are working on a looong-term project. I’ve recently started messing around with version control as well.
