(Not arguing with your main point though) “Before I found out about Mercurial, I thought about using Subversion for such a purpose. But the pain was setting up a server”

What I've done here is to keep the two things orthogonal. So from the subversion side of things (and thus, the perspective of the rest of my team), I'm still committing things at the same granularity/frequency. What Mercurial buys me is version control for the iterations in between my svn commits (freedom and peace of mind). There is a page on the Mercurial wiki about <a href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/WorkingWithSubversion" rel="nofollow">working with Subversion</a>. Hi Jeremy,

Is there a way to tie it to a backend subversion server as well? Hey Ben,

This is pretty cool, and it looks like there are a few things l like about it over Git. Is there a way to tie it to a backend subversion server as well?
