That's been pointed out to me before. Maybe in another few years, but the
conceptual leap from CVS->SVN is much less than CVS->SVK. I was happy
enough to convince the powers that be to switch from CVS to SVN, I doubt I
would have been successful with a leap to a decentralized system.
Above and beyond the merge tracking though, I still see a use for the
feature: any sort of manipulation that is automatically performed on the
working copy that one would like to ensure is reported in the commit
history.
