Should I look at version control systems beyond Subversion?

Question

Within the last year I have become addicted to subversion. I am an only developer and I also work on a few of my own projects. With SVN its really easy to manage everything

Answer 1

Rule no. 1: "Never change a running system"

Also, as there are many shiny new solutions(for problems you do not have, as you work alone) you should consider the cost of switching to a new VCS: The import of subversion to Mercurial/git is not an easy task

there is no tool (AFAIK), which imports svn repos by using the dumpformat. So if you do not use the dumpformat you will stick to checkout all branches/tags from svn and adding them to git/BZR/Mercurial manually/via script

So I do not know how big your repos are(my repos are ranging from 20 MB to 24GB), but it will take a long time to check out a whole repo and even small projects with lot of tags will eat up a lot of harddisk space.

Additional problem is the time until your migration is done you cannot continue to work.
