I'm going to start playing around with it more on my own system and  
will probably be converting Swami to using it.  For me, I think some  
of the biggest advantages are that its very quick, since most  
operations do not need network connectivity and making local  
branches/merging is straightforward and is what it is designed to do.   
Branching/merging on SVN, on the other hand, is something that  
requires careful planning.
