"And Git's only recent"
This is quite an awkward statement; why single out Git? All of the mentioned RCSes got started roughly at the same time.
According to Wikipedia, the exact announcement dates are: Bazaar-NG 2005-02-01, Git 2005-04-07, and Mercurial 2005-04-19.

Interview with Brian Aker (LinuxWorld) Posted Jun 14, 2007 0:48 UTC (Thu) by madscientist (subscriber, #16861) [Link] While that's true, note that Bazaar-NG is a fork of/enhancement to arch, which was around for a long time before Git.
Also, I'm surprised he doesn't mention Monotone, which was around for a while before Git, is distributed, and was the SCM tool Linus most seriously considered before deciding to write Git. Maybe he meant to say Monotone when he said Mercurial.
And of course there's Darcs which is also distributed, and was also around for a while before Git.
Interview with Brian Aker (LinuxWorld) Posted Jun 14, 2007 1:27 UTC (Thu) by danielthaler (subscriber, #24764) [Link] I can't say much about the others, but I've used Darcs quite a bit; I found that it got painful quickly whenever I tried to do anything other than add patches linearly.
The usual story for just about anything else was that it ran for hours and/or got oom-killed...
A year has passed since then, though, so who knows - maybe it got better?
