See http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb. As for personal experiences, we tried some things for LilyPond, and I have the following to add - I concur with Juliusz that using centralized VC today is a bad move - GIT: steep learning curve, but it also has a clear model that makes it very predictable to determine whether something is possible or not. There is also a lot of tool support. - darcs: a clear model from theoretical point of view, but we could never get the hang of the user interface, syncing was too slow for a serious project. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - hanwen@xs4all.nl - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen
