I also wonder why you are not looking at Mercurial yet (<http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki>). It has been selected by a number of projects, e.g. OpenSolaris and Mozilla.

The concept how branches are implemented with Mercurial doesn't fit that good in OpenOffice.org Developmemnt Model. Since OOo Feature Development happens on branches in teams and thus branches should be shareable by all, Mercurial doesn't seems to be the natural choice since there branches are done in distributed manner.

This was true when we evaluated Mercurial around March. Now Mercurial has support for "named branches" inside a repository, which at least theoretically would fit the bill. I'm not sure how well they would work in our case, the support for named branches is quite new in Mercurial and I haven't come around to try it out.

It seems that all DSCMs are very actively developed currently, which makes a final evaluation a bit difficult.
