DaRCS, Git, Bazaar, Monotone, Mercurial, Svn, and a bunch of others all
have something going for them. Even CVS has a lot of things going for it.
I don't think Svn is a good option a this stage.
As much as I like Haskell and as much as I like some of the ideas in
DaRCS, I do not think it's a good choice right now because of some
serious scalability problems that can show up in corner cases.
Of the remaining 4 I think they'd all fit the bill just fine, each with
its own strengths and weaknesses. So the choice among those 4 is mostly
arbitrary.
Making the choice based on ideological reasons makes a lot of sense in
a context where the difference between Open Source and Free Software is
stark yet purely ideological.
