I didn't say I was only replicating--I said that it took me a few hours to be able to replicate SVN. The reason you switch isn't to replicate SVN, its to take advantage of the other features available, like local commits (see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=374413 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=374413 ).
