OK, had a quick browse through the docs and it works on a different
premise than the one I'm used to. There's no central repository
(though it allows one if you want to work that way); everyone has a
complete copy of the repository, history, branches and all, and it
works by sync'ing repositories rather than between a working copy and
a central repository. I can see that it would be useful if you
regularly run off to a private island in the Pacific to do your
software development. And you never have to worry about losing the
central repository, since someone will have a copy...

Since I can connect to my svn server over https, I'm rarely "offline":
it's even useable over GPRS for checking in a few files or looking at
an older rev. of a file. Don't how useful it'd be for me, but I'll
give it a shot one day in my copious spare time.
