In other words, DVCS is about keeping and (optionally) communicating local history, not about reducing the number of VC-related operations you do.

The bit I left out where it can get painful is when the patch call to go back to the first task fails due to changes picked up in the "svn update" before working on the second task.

Even if the basic flow isn't any simpler (suspend original task, start new task, finish new task, go back to original task), a bit of assistance with that last step (when necessary) wouldn't go astray at all :)

Cheers, Nick.
