I think I agree with Daniel's view, in particular wrt. to performance.
Whatever the replacement tool, it should perform as well or better
than CVS currently does; it also shouldn't perform much worse than
subversion.

I've been using git (or, rather, cogito) to keep up-to-date with the
Linux kernel. While performance of git is really good, storage
requirements are *quite* high, and initial "checkout" takes a long
time - even though the Linux kernel repository stores virtual no
history (there was a strict cut when converting the bitkeeper HEAD).
So these distributed tools would cause quite some disk consumption
on client machines. bazaar-ng apparently supports only-remote
repositories as well, so that might be no concern.

Martin
