We need to move off of CVS eventually.

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

Choice #2: Move to a distributed VCS.

  • Subversion - CVS 2.0. Who needs a distributed VCS anyway? (C)
  • Git - all the cool kids are using it these days (C)
  • monotone (C++)
  • svk - disribution based on subversion, best practical sponsors it, RT uses it (perl)
  • 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.
