I think he's rejecting DVCSes in general; note that he said he tried git and has rejected it for bad merging:

> so I naturally stuck them in a git repository and pushed to my personal git server. But then, how do I deal with synching my work and home machines? I guess I'll manually merge changes... Yeah, that lasted about 10 minutes.

(Now me personally, I read that and go 'how is git unable to handle the merges, isn't that the point of git', but presumably he has a good reason to waste all this time looking at alternatives.)

I love Git, use it every day. In fact, SparkleShare uses git as it's transport mechanism. The thing that I wanted was fully automatic merging. I'm the only one modifying these files, always on one machine at a time. I don't want to have to manage push/pull/merge every time I make a change, I just want my changes to propagate everywhere automatically.
