Some SVN features not in Fossil:

Tagging files. SVN allows properties to be attached to files as well as to
commits. SVN properties are similar to Fossil tags. Fossil's artifact
structure would support tagging files, but Fossil has no command to do
this. SVN users might want this feature. However, simply enhancing the tag
command to allow this could cause confusion when searching for a commit by
tag.

Copying files. "svn cp a b" copies a to b then adds b as a new file with
history. That, when showing the history of b, it will include the history
of a from before the copy (including any history a inherited). Again, SVN
users might want this. While the 4th field of the F card could be used to
"connect" b to a, we might need some way to indicate this was a copy, not a
move/rename.

There may be more, but this is what I've found so far.
