Colin Walters on Arch
Colin writes approvingly of Arch.
I recently switched to using the Arch revision control system for Rhythmbox, and I am incredibly happy with it now. I've already had one person who had no account on the GNOME CVS make a local branch of my tree (without write access to it either), start hacking on it, and then I was able to star-merge their changes back in easily. We've actually merged since several times as he made more bugfixes. There have been no conflicts from repeatedly applied patches. Great stuff.
It looks good to me. I just wish there were more documentation, but I suppose that will come in time. In the meantime, he has an IRC log with some description of how to use it.
