FAQ Q: another version control system?

Do we really need another version control system?  As I understand it,
this is like a distributed, central-server-less, CVS, sorry, SVN
server.

But why isn't such a feature set added into SVN?  Why do I have to
download another version control system just so that I can "git"
libxcb and X11 so that I can compile gtk so that I can compile xchat
so that I can go onto the IRC server for madwifi so that I can ask
someone there why their wifi drivers don't create a /dev/wifi0 on my
system so that I can get my wireless working????

Aaaaah.
