which doesnt happen in svn repo projects?
It can and Subversion developers themselves are big on review and
enforce it consistently via cultural means (Refer
http://producingoss.com/) but I would argue that the nature of the
system doesn't by itself encourage it. It would really depend on the
workflow. If you are using one of the DVCS's, almost any non-trivial
work can go into a alternative branch and commits be done offline. Merge
back is easy and fast. It can be viewed coherently as a whole instead of
in terms of files which is important IMO for review.
