Glad to hear that. A coworker and I use it literally every day instead
of the "normal" svn client. The only thing we do is create server-side
branches and tags using remote URLs now, and branching occurs a lot
less since we can do local experimentation as needed. As an example, I
upgraded our version of Django from 0.96 to 1.0 by maintaining a local
named branch (which keeps its name when using hg svn rebase) and was
able to keep the branch up to date easily over the course of 2 months
while we waited for a good time to land the queue of 25 or so patches.
When it was ready, I just did a push and it worked.

This is a restriction that I'm hoping to lift soon. There are some bad
design decisions in my original work, and it's been far harder to
refactor than I expected, but I think (finally) I'm almost done.
