When I was selecting a VC, I narrowed it down to Bazaar or Git. Being a prior Arch user, Bazaar fixed most of my complaints while using the same architecture.
I understand Git's got quite a following, and addresses many of the same shortcomings of CVS that Bazaar and other distributed VC's (darcs, mercurial, etc) do. I have been curious what Git could offer over Bazaar, other than optimization for large numbers of users checking out. I recall Linus said that Bazaar was too slow. ;] My requirements were easy branching and merging, plus no special servers needed (ie: ftp/http/ssh). Ironically, I rarely use VC with Org files, because most of my files have a short lifespan (1 per project).
