This other question/answer might help too as the question is formulated as :
"I often read that Hg (and Git and...) are better at merging than SVN but I have never seen practical examples of where Hg/Git can merge something where SVN fails (or where SVN needs manual intervention). Could you post a few step-by-step lists of branch/modify/commit/...-operations that show where SVN would fail while Hg/Git happily moves on? Practical, not highly exceptional cases please..."
Reading it all is long but might help too to understand the underlying reasons about the easier merge statement.
