However, it's no longer maintained (see > <http://lists.bestpractical.com/pipermail/svk-devel/2009-May/001224.html>), The most interesting and really the most relevant part of that message (to this part of this thread) is the following sentence: However using Subversion's filesystem as SVK's backend has become one of SVK's primary technical issues, as we found it to be inadequate as a storage backend for more complicated merges, which require a lot of traversal. The author goes on to suggest that far superior distributed VCS tools, designed and built from the ground up, are now available. Perhaps SVK was a fine tool for users forced to use SVN, but I think SVN was always the wrong answer to the question. :-) -- Greg A.
