That was where I was heading.  Useful, but means Mercurial and Git are
better Subversion clients.  I agree Mercurial and Git rebase so are not
useful other than as personal clients to Subversion.  Thus there seems
to be a gap in the market:  Mercurial and Git are good repository
clients, but cannot bridge easily to the DVCS world, Bazaar has a great
capability of bridging Subversion to Bazaar, but can only work on a per
branch basis not on a whole repository basis.

Certainly from my personal perspective I think Bazaar seems sadly
lacking in "whole repository" activity which is where Mercurial and Git
shine.

Git's remote tracking branches are incredibly useful.
