says
Note that if your version-control system is file-oriented (SCCS,
RCS, CVS) rather than fileset-oriented (CVS, Subversion, GNU Arch)
specifying a revision of a multiple-file fileset by revision ID (as
opposed to a snapshot name or RSCCS/RCS tag) is unlikely to return
diffs that are connected in any meaningful way.
The double use of CVS will be confusing. It would be better for the
second parenthesis to say
(Subversion, GNU Arch, git, Mercurial)

That omits Monotone, DaRCS, etc...
Why not just say "all others"?
