I was looking at some distributed RCS for some time and also tried some of them and like monotone most. There are some attempts to integrate mtn in emacs via DVC (http://download.gna.org/dvc/, of interest if you want to use a distributed RCS from within emacs!!!) but I dont really know how far it has gone by now. But it has all the features one needs, like sending new revisions by mail, good trust system, SHA1 hashes for revision-IDs, great mailing list, rock solid, very good documentation (most importend for me), mounthly release cycle, gui tools ... For synchronization of two databases SSH access and mtn in path on the remote side is sufficient. I never use any RCS but CVS from within emacs. Console is my prefered way to do those things though.
