not reall.  Bitkeeper has windows clicky tools which is nice, and will be 
integrated with MS products going forward, from what I can tell.  However 
that licensing makes me wonder if it will be the big one going forward. But 
it doesn't seem to have the user base of CVS.  (But what does?  I can hear 
myself asking)  arch, subversion, cvs, bitkeeper seems to be the only list 
which is worth looking at.  

I sure wish that something like savannah would be more of a plug-in based 
hosting tool instead of a big wrapper around their choice of VCS, tracking, 
mailing list manager.  In the end, sourceforge/savannah feels like a big cow 
pie sitting there holding all of the good seeds together in one place.  But 
you only get the seeds that the cow says you get, and you _do not_ want to go 
replacing the already-installed seeds with the ones you want in there.

That's a good idea.  I don't need it.  The ony keystone system I have any use 
for right now has about 20 tickets in it.  My wife can deal with dual systems 
until we close all of the old keystone slips.  I might work on an import tool 
if I feel anal enough about our history, but I don't think I will.
