Perhaps because you can do the same thing in SVN?
At least, that's what he says. I don't really know SVN.

This is largely due to the fact that I have a strong aesthetic preference for languages where you can hold most of the language [1] in your head. Such languages are called compact [2].

And, until (apparently) recently, if you make a mistake SVN will "trash your local copy rather badly" which isn't quite the same thing.
