Software Branching and Parallel Universes

Branching in svn fills me with the fear of jeebus, but there’s one circumstance in which I use it, kinda. I maintain at least two branches of most of my work project, the mainline branch being in SVN at work and the other on my laptop. I don’t have internet connectivity in my house (long story), so I move work back and forth using a USB stick. I merge work back and forth between the two. All my works stuff is kept in Bazaar repositories at home, but all my other stuff is kept in my SVK repository. I really have to ditch SVK.
