To which I'd respond that Arch fills a very different niche, closer to DARC=
S.
But I'm leaving the Arch (tla/baz/bzr) boat too - patch-oriented SCMs
were fun, but very disappointing. There is a central design flaw in
pure patch tracking, and neither Arch nor DARCS do anything about it:
no matter how much you track patches merged, you need to be able to
identify convergence. GIT does this so well by being
identity-oriented, that you can do a ton of patch trading on top (via
email, StGIT, quilt, whatever) and things still make sense after
merging and remerging ad infinitum.
I'm running my Arch repos through this git-archimport-script:
