This is an argument *against* the usefulness of switching!
Why?
This simply allows those who are happy with the status quo to live
peacefully with those who want the benefits of the new capabilities.
Hmm, perhaps I misunderstood what you were saying... Would the bzr
client allow
accessing an svn server, or the reverse?
The reverse.
IIUC, the bzr server would be able to speak to svn clients. bzr
supports a centralized model perfectly fine along side a decentralized
model, so any current developers who want to continue using their svn
client can do so, and everyone else could use the bzr client to work
decentralized.
(please note that we already have bzr, hg and git mirrors. So it's
not like
people wanting to use a DVCS are out of solutions)
Right, but ideally the server would support the full distributed model
and users wold chose which client and models they are most comfortable
with.
One option would be to promote the mirrors to official status, but
this is clunky because svn has a less complete model than a dvcs so
it's more difficult to go in that direction.
