I actually like the svn/cvs way, since each directory in the working
copy is self-contained. The DVCS way means that you can't tell just by
looking at a directory whether it is part of a working copy or not -
there is a non-local element affecting you at a higher point in the
filesystem hierarchy.

Cheers,
Nick.
