[python-committers] Survey about DVCSs compared to svn

Why not add a requirement to the PEP such that if a DVCS is chosen
then a read-only SVN mirror or gateway should be maintained? Would
that be a reasonable compromise?

I have more or less the same opinion as Guido regarding svn merge. It
sucks. We bump up against problems with svn merge tracking on a
regular basis at work. We'd have switched to a DVCS by now if it
wasn't for tool support (trac mostly) and the fact that we use a lot
of svn:externals in our repository.
