Briefly:
- I can't interact with SVN repos.
- Built-in support for branches, tags and many other features
that at least until I used it , were missing in SVN
- Patch queues (MQ) are a great way to develop patches by
groups of people (at least much better than the current
attach successive versions of the patch to ticket ) and
commit them to the repos on approval .

«SVN does not work for me» in my case means there's no possible way to
checkout, commit , * , cause I always get HTTP errors (gateway
timeouts, forbidden, ... at random) . If you don't understand it ,
well, now we're two ;o) ; but the fact is that it doesn't work , and
not because I don't like it . So far I don't have an explanation
either , and asked to svn-users and got nothing either ... so .
