Version Control System

We need to move off of CVS eventually.

Choice #1: Move to subversion, it's CVS 2.0 anyway.

• Subversion (+svk?) - CVS 2.0. Who needs a distributed VCS anyway? (C, svk perl)

Choice #2: Move to a distributed VCS.

• Git - all the cool kids are using it these days (C)
• monotone (C++)
• Mercurial/Hg (python)
• Bazaar - Canoical/Ubuntu/Launchpad (python)
• Darcs (haskell)

Not considering

• Codeville, its dead jim
• Vesta, commercial abandonware, not distributed

Random others

• Aegis - a strange beast. Probably not for us.
