+While Subversion aims to take over the CVS user base, SVK attempts
+to take over the others -- including people who are already using
+other SCM systems, and people who had not started using SCM.
+
+SVK is written in Perl, using Subversion's underlying filesystem
+but provides additional features:
+
+ * Offline operations like "checkin", "log", "merge".
+ * Distributed branches.
+ * Lightweight checkout copy management (no ".svn" directories).
+ * Advanced merge algorithms, like "star-merge" and "cherry picking".
+
