Thanks, Niko, I appreciate your comments.

After looking around some more, bazaar is looking like it works well
with my desired work flow (work at home or on the road):

1. company server: subversion repositories (access by vpn--slow and
unreliable for a busy developer)

2a. home server: bazaar master repository as a copy of the company
subversion repo

   bazaar repo is backed up to multiple disks regularly

   bazaar repo changes synched with company subversion repo as able

2b. home server: individual users have clones of bazaar master repo,
keep inn sync with master bazaar repo on home server

3. laptop: same as 2b

I may not have the terminology exactly correct, but I hope the basic
idea shows through. It looks like that is fairly easily doable with
bazaar.
