cogito
- Not practical
* the lots of little files doesn't scale well with the size
of the portage tree
* In addition, git only allows checkins from the project parent.
A deal breaker in my opinion
cvs
- Branching sucks
- Merging is terrible
- File deletes are bad
- Atomic Commits
svn
+ Atomic Commits
+ Merging/tagging/brancing is a simple "copy" operation
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch04.html
+ lots of benefits
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.intro.features.html
there is more I'm sure people can come up with
- 2x Drive space
darcs
- haskell dependency
- doesn't work on some architectures
- IMHO, deal breaker
svk
- not a contender, it is subversion.
if someone wanted to use svk with the subversion tree they could;
it is transparent to any other.
