You pointed out a couple additional things I missed, but you also put words in my mouth. I did not say there is "no merit left in Subversion" and indeed explicitly stated that it does have important use cases.

However I stand by my statement on the technical underpinnings. The fact that svn does not distinguish between a repo, a directory, a branch and a tag means that it is ill-defined and is an evolutionary dead-end. Incidentally there are some benefits for things that git does poorly, but that doesn't make it a good architecture.
