Dead horse flogging ahead, but:

Some BK users are telling me that one thing they like about BK is its
dualistic nature. Moment to moment it feels like SVN/CVS-style
file-oriented revision control. Then when cooperating with other
programmers, it feels like distributed, changeset-oriented revision
control.

For those of you familiar enough with arch to understand this and with
due respect to svk: one perhaps interesting idea is to store arch
project trees in SVN locally and then use arch archives and operations
to coordinate flow between archives. Bloated but featureful.
