How and/or why is merging in Git better than in SVN?

I've heard a few places that one of the main ways distributed version control systems shine, is much better merging than traditional tools like SVN. Is this actually due to inherent differences in how the two systems work, or do specific DVCS implementations like Git/Mercurial just have cleverer merging algorithms than SVN?

SVN in Eclipse is spread into 2 camps. The SVN people have developed a plugin called Subclipse. The Eclipse people have a plugin called Subversive. Broadly speaking they both do the same things. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

How do you overcome the svn 'out of date' error?

I've been attempting move a directory structure from one location to another in Subversion, but I get an Item '*' is out of date commit error.

I have the latest version checked out (so far as I can tell). svn st -u turns up no differences other than the mv commands.

How do I move a file (or folder) from one folder to another in TortoiseSVN?

I would like to move a file or folder from one place to another within the same repository without having to use Repo Browser to do it, and without creating two independent add/delete operations. Using Repo Browser works fine except that your code will be hanging in a broken state until you get any supporting changes checked in afterwards (like the .csproj file for example).

Update: People have suggested "move" from the command line. Is there a TortoiseSVN equivalent?

Should I add the Visual Studio .suo and .user files to source control?

Visual Studio solutions contain two types of hidden user files. One is the solution .suo file which is a binary file. The other is the project .user file which is a text file. Exactly what data do these files contain?

I've also been wondering whether I should add these files to source control (Subversion in my case). If I don't add these files and another developer checks out the solution, will Visual Studio automatically create new user files?

How do I edit a log message that I already committed in Subversion?

Is there a way to edit the log message of a certain revision in Subversion? I accidentally wrote the wrong filename in my commit message which could be confusing later.

I've seen How do I edit an incorrect commit message in Git?, but the solution to that question doesn't seem to be similar for Subversion (according to svn help commit).

Checkout one file from Subversion

"It is not possible to check out a single file. The finest level of checkouts you can do is at the directory level."

How do I get around this issue when using Subversion?

How do you remove Subversion control for a folder?

I have a folder, c:\websites\test, and it contains folders and files that were checked out from a repository that no longer exists. How do I get Subversion to stop tracking that folder and any of the subfolders and files?

I know I could simply delete the .svn folder, but there are a lot of sub-folders in many layers.
