Which DVCS work best with Subversion repositories


I have tried Git, Mercurial and Bazaar with a SVN repository and I have found that all three work pretty well (when using the their respective *-svn module).

I suggest you pick the DCVS you like most and use that one.

(The modules are git-svn, bzr-svn and hgSubversion)


HgSubversion provides the sort of interaction you're talking about. It bills itself as a SVN client, based in Mercurial, meaning that you work in Mercurial locally, but still interact with a SVN server.

The convert extension is also very good if you want to convert from SVN to Mercurial.

There are some other Mercurial/SVN workflows you might find interesting on the Mercurial wiki.


Git, works side by side in the same directory, also has git-svn bridges
