So maybe Subversion will improve in the future...

However, right here and now, Monotone already does what Ludovic's
wants, and I must say it does look very interesting.

I find it interesting in Monotone you can commit changes even if your
tree is not up-to-date, so you only commit your changes first go, and
then you do the merge. As opposed to being forced to do both in the
one commit (I never liked this model).

There are still some thing on this I am curious about though, for
example, what happens if two people try to merge conflicting trees at
the same time?

It also seems to have Windows support (a weak point in gnuarch/bazaar
only addressed in bazaar-ng - yes Windows clients exist in the earlier
versions, but my understanding is that they are very much hacks).
