The current page only refers to the subversion repo, but there are official github and bitbucket repos which some users will find more convenient.

Patch added. I built the docs (html only) and checked to make sure it looked right and the links worked. I also added myself to AUTHORS since I have a handful of patches in.
Edit: I misnamed the patch. I would upload a correct one but it really doesn't matter and I can't delete the original. Oops.

I think it would be useful to explain that svn is the master, and that hg and git are official mirrors, updated every XXX minutes / hours (I don't know the details).
Very minor: the coding style is to put a space between the # and the comment: #subversion ==> # subversion, etc.

Notes by aaugustin addressed, although I would welcome specifics about the delay in updating the DVCS mirrors to enhance the documentation.

Two things:
- Don't list the mirrors next to the Subversion repo since it will lead to people thinking they are equal to the SVN repo.
- Put a big fat warning to the list of mirrors that they aren't guaranteed to be up-to-date since they are hosted on externals services.
Also, the mirrors are updated every 5 minutes.

Patch to mention git & hg as alternatives to svn when "tracking trunk."
