Linux seemed to loath svn with a passion. I really some comment from him like "they simply don't get it". With the benefit of hindsight, he was right.

But he did throw the baby out with the bath water. They got the data structures wrong, the overall concept skew whiff (a commit is the code at a point in time; how you got there is just meta data), but the higher level interface wasn't bad. He could have done worse than to base the porcelain command names on svn.
