I used SVK for a good 18 months before switching to Mercurial.
Wild horses wouldn't drag me back. SVK is a bugger to install if
not pre-packaged, given half a chance combines multiple changes
in one repo into a single change (with concatenated comment)
in another (which I hate), and IME would periodically lose track of changes
already present and bounce a set of changes back and forth between
two repos.

As a plain satellite for disconnected working on a Subversion
repo only, it's OK. Anything more fully distributed and it doesn't cut
it for me. Mercurial has Just Worked in the same setup. It's a joy.
