Designing a New Version Control System? (fwd)

One wishes they would have provided a direct link, but oh well. At least
the tigris.org site appears to be keeping up with traffic.

   from the replacing-rcs-and-obsoleting-cvs dept.
   [1]tekvov asks: "When Linus Torvalds decided to use BitKeeper as the
   version control system for Linux there seemed to be a lot of
   controversy and many challenges to create a better system than CVS. My
   question is exactly what would this 'better system' look like? How is
   the subversion project, [2]Tigris, doing at creating a new version
   control system? Basically, does the Open Source Community need new
   tools in this aspect of development? And if so, how should these new
   tools look?"
