I suppose he wrote what he meant:
"Internally, we use a tool called Teamware, but for various reasons,
 it didn't make sense to export that to the rest of the world. So one
 of the big changes over the last year has been that there's a new
 source-code management tool called Mercurial, and that's made
 everyone in engineering very happy."

SVN is neither new nor comparable to Teamware.
