I'm not using Mercurial, but for those that are, or are trying to
figure things out, perhaps this
Hg Init: a Mercurial tutorial <http://hginit.com/>
by Joel Splosky, might be useful.
The very first section is called "Subversion Re-eduction" ;)
Want to know something funny? Almost every Subversion team I’ve
spoken to has told me some variation on the very same story. This
story is so common I should just name it “Subversion Story #1.” The
story is this: at some point, they tried to branch their code, usually
so that the shipping version which they gave their customers can be
branched off separately from the version that the developers are
playing with. And every team has told me that when they tried this,
it worked fine, until they had to merge, and then it was a nightmare.
What should have been a five minute process ended up with six
programmers around a single computer working for two weeks trying to
manually reapply every single bug fix from the stable build back into
the development build.
...
When you switch to Mercurial, you may not even realize it, but
branching becomes possible again, and you don’t have to be afraid.
