Hi everyone,
noticed a furore on Slashdot yesterday over Bitmover dropping support
for the free version of Bitkeeper.

You may hear the "I told you so's" in the distance if you listen
carefully :o)
I have been tracking Xen with TLA/Arch ever since getting involved, and
that has worked really fine for me. These days there is also the
Ubuntu-sponsored Bazaar, which I think is mostly Arch-compatible, but
with command line syntax closer to what BK and CVS users may expect. The
only problem with Arch and Xen is that Arch really works best if your
build-targets live in their own directory, rather being littered all
over the source tree. It can be convinced to ignore all the unversioned
stuff, but I think what usually happens is that Arch manages to convince
its users to modify the build scripts (saves a lot of 'make clean &&
make's too if you do it right and makes the source tree easier to
navigate) rather than the other way around.
The good news is that with all these great new tools coming out,
tracking an upstream code base has become a lot simpler than it used to
be, making it easier for users to run with whatever system they prefer.
Personally, I'll stick with TLA/Arch.
