monotone for linux kernel
Linus is dropping BitKeeper and plugs monotone:
graydon!
Speaking of monotone, an recent unrelated search produced their appendix on hashes as identifiers, which is worth a read regardless.
PS. Don't bother telling me about subversion. If you must, start reading up on "monotone". That seems to be the most viable alternative, but don't pester the developers so much that they don't get any work done. They are already aware of my problems ;)Props to

It hasn't seemed worth my time to listen to his opinions on anything since.
Personally, I think CVS is just fine. It's not perfect, but I'm saving *C* code in it, so you can't even see "perfect" from here.
For personal use, probably. For running a publicly-accessible pserver? Not so much. New security exploits every month. Which is why LiveJournal's is offline for now.
OpenCVS
The OpenBSD team is brewing a CVS replacement.I like the features of perforce, but I have not yet used it enough to make a real source control recommendation. Although I hear microsoft is very happy with it, and windows 200? is about as big of a software development project as I can think of.
