Oh, and also:

- does not allow crypto signatures on commits
- does not guarantee data integrity by means of strong hashes
- does not allow DAGgy fixes [1]

and then there are shortcomings of "just" the implementation:

- ridiculously inefficient storage [2]
- working copies contain two copies of every file (one hidden)

[2] GCC in CVS: 3.5 Gb; GCC in Subversion: 8.5 Gb and growing.
