title: For home projects, can Mercurial or Git (or other DVCS) provide more advantages over Subversion?
body: <p>Which free source control system is most preferable with reason for home projects and documents?</p>
  
  <p>I am thinking to use Subversion (as I am familiar with it).</p>
  
  <p>Characteristic of home project:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Most likely single person will be committing changes.
  (May be one day (not now), it is possible that I share a project with my friend who is in other city)</p></li>
  <li><p>I would like to store other documents (non-programming files)</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Is Mercurial or GIT (distributed version control system) can give me any more advantage over to subversion in Home Projects? </p>
