Of course they have the capacity! Geez. I'm not saying that. Let me  
explain. The lack of interest had as much to do with time. It wasn't  
an attitude thing of not wanting to do it because it was logical. It  
was more like "Help me out here, I'm busy, and learning a tool that  
may be a fad isn't where I want to spend my time." And if they're  
swamped with design work, and you're wanting to tack on some extra  
tool they need to start using, a manager could raise an eyebrow, and  
ask if that's really necessary.

I just thought it was cool that Wade's group was doing command line  
svn. Having a repository of design source files is pretty necessary in  
my book. That's a very different task than learning some template  
engine.
