Hi, out of curiosity I wondered, what the history of distributed version control systems is.
Well, some sources mention, that Sun Teamware is distributed and uses SCCS style deltas. SCCS was created in 1972 (wikipedia, in 1975 there is a paper). I found a Teamware userguide from 1999. So, when was the first version of Teamware released? (btw, to google for $random-vcs AND history is not very effective ...) And Bitkeeper is always mentioned as a somewhat-successor of Teamware (the Bitkeeper dev was a Sun employer which worked at Teamware and quit at a time to create Bitkeeper on his own, some sources say). Perhaps someone knows a approx first release date of Bitkeeper, too (couldn't find something about at bitkeeper.com or google). I am posting to this general opensolaris list, because I guess that quite some Sun developers know Teamware and to some point something about the origin of Bitkeeper.
