...and yet you're describing the *exact* use-model of a decentralized
system. You're asking for multiple repositories that can exchange
changesets. That's what arch and bitkeeper and svk all do. Yes, the
repositories are arranged in a hierarchy, but it's still a
"decentralized" system. At the moment, Subversion repositories cannot
talk to each other.
