Interestingly, there was a distributed SCM build on top of SVN, called SVK (https://wiki.c2.com/?SvkVersionControl https://wiki.c2.com/?SvkVersionControl). Being distributed, it solved the main gripes with SVN; it also added a better merging algorithm (https://foswiki.org/pub/Development/SVK/svk-visual-guide.pdf https://foswiki.org/pub/Development/SVK/svk-visual-guide.pdf), solving another big gripe. I was actually satisfied of it, and surprised that it never got attention, in particular, because there were no requirements in order to use it with existing SVN repositories. I'm actually baffled, because SVN is still active, so SVK would still be useful nowadays.
