    What about monotone? Some people claim that is better than SVN (subversion) and CVS, and that is equivalent in functions than BitKeeper. There was a unsucessful clone of BitKeeper (that in his actual status seems be only a read-only client), BitBucket, that seems be abandonated.

    What's your opinion? Post it here!

    Well, there are two classes of revision control systems, those that support checked out trees which are archive themselves, like darcs, bitkeeper, tla/arch/baz, or svk.
    Then there are centralized repository systems, like cvs and subversion, and altough subversion i of this second class it is designed to be ways easier to use than the other ones, especially for someone coming from cvs.

    The difference between these systems and cvs, and the historical rcs/sccs, is that the later support only per file history, while the new ones support per repository history.

    I have a personal preference for darcs if one goes that way, because it is written in haskell by computer language specialists, and thus probably less error prone that the hacked other solutions. It may be marginally slower as thus, but who would not give up a bit of speed for proven correct code :)

    @Sven

    A lot of RCS, there are some technical and well explained review of all this mess of revision control systems? :-)
