The 12 step cases are exactly merges, and the merges themselves are easy with hg. For simply getting a patch in to the default branch, svn had: svn up <apply patch etc> svn up svn ci Whereas hg has: hg pull -u <apply patch etc> hg commit hg push Same number of steps, but as has been pointed out, the hg push guarantees no one else has made changes, whereas that safety-belt svn up before the svn ci doesn't. -- R.
