I must agree with Ismail's reply here.  We have used svk for our 
internal development for about two years, for the reason of easy 
mirroring of gcc trunk and branching from it locally.  I would not 
complain about its speed, but sometimes we had problems with merge from 
trunk, ending up with e.g. zero-sized files in our branch which were 
removed from trunk, or we even couldn't merge at all, and I had to 
resort to underlying subversion repository for merging.  As a result, 
we're currently migrating to mercurial.
