Distributed systems also support hierarchical layered development, which
SVN currently doesn't directly support very easily.
For example, at my company, we maintain a private local fork of
Subclipse which we use internally. Currently, we do that using a vendor
branch, which is updated each time Subclipse releases. It would be nice
to be able to do that by having our local repo synch from the Subclipse
repo, but one-way only, so that our local mods never get synched
upstream (where they're not wanted). That way, we could build our mods
based on any arbitrary trunk rev of Subclipse, just by forcing a synch.
