I recently made the conversion from CVS to PRCS. I like PRCS
much better. It is easier to use, implemented indepentant of
rcs, faster, more flexible and has versioned project meta-data.
Branching and merging is much simpiler than CVS. Operations on
project versions are atomic. Renaming and moving files is easy.
It is well documented.
Unfortunately version 1 does not support distributed
repositories. Josh has informed my that version to is coming
(hopefully this year) and will support distributed repositories.
For Python I don't think that a multi-user version control system
is strictly necessary anyhow. The PRCS repository could be made
available via rsync and a process could be setup for checking
patches into the central repository. It should actually be more
efficient than the current CVS setup.
I just looked at the webpage and the beta for 2.0 is out:

If PythonLabs is interested in using PRCS I will even volunteer
to make sure those Windows weenies have a good port. :)
