Let's see what we currently support: (RCS CVS SVN SCCS Bzr Git Hg Mtn Arch MCVS) [with DaRCS being hopefully added soon] Of those, when starting a new project, I wouldn't want to recommend any one in particular: they all have their strength and weaknesses. I don't think it's our role to pimp one over another. And given the fact that Emacs provides no particular support to start a project under either of those VCS anyway, I think we should simply punt on this issue. Stefan
