Anyway, so has anyone moved from svk to git? Any thoughts on the experience?
I still use SVN for most of my stuff. I could never figure out SVK. Git and Mercurial are both a doddle to set up and use. If I need to do any complex branching/merging then I'll typically check out a version of the repository from svn, make a mercurial repository from it (`hg init`), do all my branching and merging in mercurial and then commit back into SVN when I'm happy. It is, admittedly, a rather sub-optimal state of affairs to be using two halves of different source control systems. And it only really works for those "experimental feature" branches that you're planning to merge back in pretty soon or throw away. But anything that avoids having to branch/merge in SVN is usually a good thing IMHO. I haven't upgraded to 1.5 yet, but it looks like they've made branch/merge far less painful to use. A
