If they're still using Subversion, why would that be? Subversion lets you check out just part of a repo. (Then again, interns, I guess.)

1. Subversion lets you configure granular permissions.

2. Subversion lets you check out portions of your repository.

3. Subversion working copy does not have all regions history. Just a snapshot of the checked out revision.

So at least Subversion would have allowed them to limit the amount of leaked data + no revision history leaked.

They don't. SVN is an option, but the vast majority use in-house VCS called Arc.
