I think "svn ci" sometimes being a little slow is a total non-issue, at least in my experience. Admittedly, the project I use SVN for is only ~750KLOC, but I think that probably includes the vast majority of people using VCSs for source code. Subversion, despite its marketing hype, has no support for branching and merging That is overstating the case (SVN supports branching just fine), but I think that is SVN's only real problem is how terrible merging is (that and the whole centralized model in general, but there are plenty of circumstances in which a centralized VCS is perfectly acceptable). Hopefully merge tracking in 1.5 will improve things.

But try git and you will be amazed. SVN supports branching just fine No, it supports cheap copies. It has no idea what a branch is. As far as svn is concerned it's a directory. (You can even "svn copy" a single file. People do this, and it makes the nightmare called merging even more of a nightmare. Araaggghhh!)
