He's looked at arch (too slow, too fragile), darcs (too slow), and monotone (too slow). He hasn't said anything about other alternatives, like svk or bzr, but it's a reasonably safe bet they weren't overlooked.

All of the open source alternatives to date have, in any case, been so far behind BitKeeper in terms of functionality, stability and performance, it isn't even funny.
