Marko,

SVK does work without major trouble.

It's certainly true that Git, Hg and bzr are definitely more popular.  
That doesn't mean that SVK is dead or dying.

We've been hard at work on SVK 2.2. (Beta 1 came out about two weeks  
ago: http://search.cpan.org/~clkao/SVK-v2.1.99_01/)

The most exciting new features (IMO) are the new branch and release  
management tools built right into SVK

You can find out a bit more in the way of details here:

We're not planning to abandon SVK or SVK's users any time in the near  
future.

Best,
Jesse
