    Well, if everyone is throwing around ideas for their favorite
    RCS, then how about Bitkeeper? It is quite popular
    in Linux kernel development circles, and was designed
    with distributed development in mind. I've seen it used
    successfully for sub-projects in the Linux kernel (i.e. LK-SCTP) which
    was then merged into the main Linux kernel.
    This seems similar to how Perforce is used by FreeBSD developers.

    On their website, Bitkeeper has comparisons to other systems
    (RCS, CVS, Perforce, ClearCase):
    http://www.bitkeeper.com/Comparisons.html

    While it might not change anyone's mind, it is interesting
    to be aware of, especially since it is popular in Linux circles.

    Hey, if Perforce works fine, then why change it? :)
