But it was! Ever tried to use tla? It was almost as complicated as git
(SCNR), slow, and far from being well-known/widespread.

At "that time", DVCS were a pretty new thing in practical development
life.

Except that svn is not distributed, and didn't even have branches, so
it's utterly useless for the things we are trying to achieve here :-)
