There is, as you say, no current usable option. I'm personally using OpenCM (http://opencm.org). In the future it will be much more viable than it is now. Then it would be a very usable option. The unuse-ability at this point is slowness, reliance on boehm-gc, and no sub-projects (implemented) yet. Aka you cannot just checkout a subdir, it is the whole project or not. There are promises to implement this as well.
The reason I am using it is its integrity (sha1 throughout) and security (openssl connection to the repository, uses ssl certificates (not signed) as user keys to the repository) and has first class branch support. It makes it very easy to track my own private development `branches' for my uses in OpenBSD when trying out bind, vinum, v6 apache, SMP, v6 X, and several others. But it is very much slow going when doing a checkout or a commit on anything but relatively small projects. Hence, it is not ready for consideration *yet*. Thanks, -- Todd Fries ..
