i have to say that i used svk mostly to escape from subversion hell (i'd rather use cvs), more than anything else. what i really liked in svk: smerges (i believe it stands for simple merge, as opposed to the svn pain), interactive commits in 2.0 and offline mode. what i didn't like in svk: speed and fsfs. i moved from svk to git a few months ago, mainly for its speed, at first. my favourite git features: * speed * branching just because - merging is a non-issue * the pull model * rewriting history is easy. stalin would be proud. * moving stuff around is also a non-issue * interop with svn and cvs. it's not a perfect world, yet :) * tools available (although i must say that git gui is so good that i hardly run anything else these days) * documentation: extensive man pages, tutorials, screencasts, books... * last but not the least, the community, which is amazing, and stuff like gitorious, for internal use, and github for public use. last week i was pondering my 3g usage on the go, and i've realised that with google docs + cpan::mini::webserver + git i don't need it at all :) cheers, pedro -- http://pedrofigueiredo.org/ "you don't code php. you merely edit it until it works." - merlyn
