I have used darcs to work with psi. It looks like a very clean design,
but currently it is a very anemic implementation IMHO. I constantly
find myself trying to find out how to do a relatively simple task.

Git is fast and has a lot of features, but eats hard disk for lunch :-)

In the end, I think that the best option now would be to move to svn.
If we want to move to another SCM system latter on, the move should be
much simpler then the cvs -> svn move.

Another wonderful feature of svn: each commit generates a single email
to llvm-commits :-)
