I never really got the better of svk. It tended to get the better of me. I find that I am offline enough that git is useful. (And, dear hateful software authors, please get out more. I'd love to force you all to have only wireless at *roaming* rates for a few weeks. There is no longer a binary distinction between offline and online. I want the setting in the middle of "urgent stuff only, as this is spendy", and I'm not afraid to bankrupt people who don't get it pronto.) And most every week at work we are cursing subversion's merging ability, whereas I've only been impressed by what git manages. So the plan at work is, obviously, to switch to Mercurial. I'm sure a whole new slew of hate is about to happen. (My list is already up to 3. Things that I've never seen with any other version control system, and I think Mercurial is number 6 that I've used) > Apache NCSA HTTPD and thought "Wow, maintaining your own patch set looks > *awesome*, let's emulate that" Mercurial queues...
