I think (hope) what has sparked the interest is that we have ported the 
Subversion server so that it can run on OS/400 and made that port 
available for free under an open source license agreement.  See:

http://www.softlanding.com/subversion/index.htm

As for the RPG question, IMHO, storing your RPG in stream files and a 
generic version control system isn't really viable for the reasons you 
alluded to.  Subversion doesn't really do anything to change the equation. 
 

This is more about not needing to setup a Linux or Windows server just so 
that you can run a tool like CVS.  Of course it is just a huge bonus that 
Subversion is such a great tool.
