Given that this can of worms has been opened, allow me to recommend the use
of Aegis, a 12 year old Free software configuration management system that
really blows the existing Free Software "source control" systems right out
of the water.

It would be an incredibly controversial shift for GNOME, a massive (and very
likely unwanted by many developers) step towards "serious software devel
practices", but might provide some interesting discussion. :-)

Have a read, and maybe spend a few cycles to consider how a large Free
Software project like GNOME could work with a system like this. :-)
