Actually it has. The problem is different SCMS offer different things. If you are looking for a CVS replacement, that replacement is SVN. I don't think anyone can reasonably argue against that statement. If you are looking for something that is not a CVS replacement, but offers SCM and has different features (like mercurial) then I agree with you. Sincerely, Joshua D.
