IMO arch and svn have large pros but also large cons.
+ arch can do great merging
- arch does not support windows properly
+ svn has great windows support (TortoiseSVN)
- svn has poor merging
if any of these systems removes the disadvantage it will attract a lot more
users. But until this happens every step towards one of them may lead to
a deadend where you can't get your revision history from the system and
are stuck with the wrong system.
