You get the best of both worlds--a sane set of commands and a distributed version control system--by using Mercurial [1].
Checking Status: SVN: svn status Mercurial: hg status
Adding Files: SVN: svn add <filename> Mercurial: hg add <filename>
Committing Changes: SVN: svn commit -m "Commit message" (commits changes directly to the central repository) Mercurial: hg commit -m "Commit message" (commits changes to the local repository) and hg push (sends local commits to a remote repository)
Deleting/Removing Files: SVN: svn delete <filename> or svn remove <filename> Mercurial: hg remove <filename> or hg rm <filename>
Viewing History: SVN: svn log Mercurial: hg log
Viewing Differences: SVN: svn diff Mercurial: hg diff
Branching: SVN: svn copy <source_URL> <destination_URL> (creates a branch by copying a directory in the repository) Mercurial: hg branch <branchname> (creates a new named branch within the repository)
Reverting Changes: SVN: svn revert <filename> (reverts local modifications) or svn merge -r <revision>:<revision> <URL> (for more complex reverts) Mercurial: hg revert <filename> (reverts local modifications) or hg backout <changeset> (to undo a specific commit)
