Sorry to say, but BitKeeper is severely braindead. They chose to built
on top of SCCS, which in itself is nearly useless. Also he has some
weird ideas about versioning which I certainly don't agree on.
We use CVS at this moment, stepping towards BitKeeper from CVS is a step
backwards.
Eivind and me are trying to get a new version control system of the
ground which will kick arse on several accounts. Unfortunately work
draws us in.
