Wasn't quite sure how to put this on the page, so I'm posting here.

"con" for subversion is listed that auth must be through DAV, but a
"pro" for mercurial is that it can do ssh.  Just an fyi, but subversion
works GREAT over ssh (via the svn+ssh:// uri), and projects like mythtv
use this to separate anon checkout (http) with developer access (ssh).

Granted, you're still limited to "full repository" access or no access
with ssh since svn handles everything in its own database format.
