title: VCS Shootout

<p>
There's a thread about <acronym title='Version Control System'>VCS</acronym>s on the <a href='http://www.ruby-talk.org/'>ruby-talk</a> mailing list.  The thread links to <a href='http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/bese-devel/2004-March/000073.html'>this email message</a> about <a href='http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-arch/'>arch</a>, and also <a href='http://better-scm.berlios.de/comparison/comparison.html'>this <acronym title='Version Control System'>VCS</acronym> comparison chart</a>.  Interesting stuff.  The comparison chart makes <a href='http://www.venge.net/monotone/'>Monotone</a> look compelling (one caveat: it uses <a href='http://www.boost.org/'>Boost</a>).
