Hello, Massimo !

Dont worry, i am quite happy with svn.
But here are the important moments:
1. Mercurial has pretty good svn interaction set of tools - otherwise
i would not be bothered.
2. Mercurial keeps all history locally  - it means i dont need
internet connection to browse svn
 history, or commit my local changes - which is probably most important for me.
3.Due to some constraints  - lack of time, lazyness, etc,  i  can have
 periods of inactivity, which always ends up the same - i am spending
much time going through  long "svn diff", trying to recall where did i
finish, and what was actually finished. With mercurial i have a set of
local commits, with their commit messages (which is invaluable).
Think of  mercurial as about tool, which can simplify some things, not
the svn replacement.

Regards Valery.

Thank you

I checked Mercurial's website yesterday. There are some very interesting
characteristics (like the non-existence of a central repository) and it's
simple. It would be interesting in a small work group without the need
of intense centralization. It wouldn't fit my needs though. I do need a
central repository even for my personal projects.

What do you guys think about Git? It was to me a recent discover
that linux kernel switched from subversion to git.
