I second this suggestion.  Mercurial is currently at the top of
my pick-list for its speed and mental model.  I like Bazaar for
its mental model and it's focus on correctness, but it's still a
bit slow for my old home machine (once they resolve this, I
suspect I'll shift to Bazaar).  Some folks swear by Git, but I
don't fully grasp the mental model to make the best use of it,
and it's a bit of a second-class citizen on Win32.  For yet
others, it's Darcs but I don't know much about it.

Mercurial and Bazaar also have the added benefit of being written
in Python like Django so if I had to hack a VCS or use its
libraries from within Django, it would be a bit easier.

Bah...branching in SVN is easy...it's the repeatedly merging
those branches back together that becomes a pain :)  (At least
until they add merge-tracking features which are the horizon, but
not yet released).
