Well, been playing with opensolaris and they use mercurial as a DSVN – and another benefit of that over git is that the command set is very much similar to SVN/Subversion – which is important for us people who /don’t/ use it every day.

Migrating was straight-forward:

$ mkdir ~/svn && cd ~/svn
$ hgimportsvn https://dubdubdub.co.uk/svn/mike
$ find . -name .svn -type d | xargs rm -rf

One thing to note when using – which took me a bit of reading to realise – it’s distributed, so if you’ve your own local copy – you have to commit and then push/pull changes out!
