I still insist that we use either Darcs or subversion. I think Darcs may be better, but subversion is much more standard.
A primary concern must be the each with which the average user, including the non-LISP expert, can extract our work. We are not so large a project that we have to optimize our use of the source control system; we should instead optimize the availability to users. In fact subversion is promptly better based on that argument.
