Its been discussed from time to time. I would like to see this as well,
but for an additional reasons: simpler branch management and faster
updates, etc. SVN handles directories better and merging head to/from a
branch is much easier (no tagging required because it remembers the
merges). 

Unfortunately, this is a pretty big change. The main issues are:
1. retention of original log
2. converting the post-commit scripts
3. Subversion isn't fully distributed and if we're going to change, is
SVN really the
   best choice?
