BTW, does anyone have any experience on distributed vcs that just works? ;-)

Maybe it's time to select one VCS and stick with it. The current dual CVS/darcs model is far from optimal.

I'd say the main options are:

1) subversion at sf.net
    - sf.net provides automatic import of the CVS tree
    - plusses: widely used, allows pulls/commits over HTTP
    - minuses: centralized model, development stops if sf.net
      goes down
2) use the darcs trees as master repos, drop CVS
    - plusses: distributed development, easy anon access,
      various nice features of darcs
    - minuses: hosting (how to provide ultra-reliable hosting
      for the repo?), scalability (what if the repo grows too
      big for darcs?), managing developer access (we'll have
      to do this manually), no pushes over HTTP

I think these are really the main options. Adding yet another VCS (git, mercurial/hg, bazaar-ng, etc) doesn't bring much to the table. They don't really bring new benefits compared to (2), and suffer from much of the same downsides.

Btw; some good blog posts comparing the alternatives:
