There is also Arch which allows distributed repositories.  I had looked
at it earlier but it suffers from ease of use features and a lot of 
people mistrust it because it's practically put together using shell
glue and some small apps and thus is not a monolithic application 
like cvs is.

In many ways this is probably as controversial as Aegis but less so than
subversion.  Personally, if the documentation/interface issues were
resolved (and I believe it's getting there) Arch would be something I
would seriously consider.
