Parent article: subversion 1.0 is released

Looking at this comparaison (and others) it looks like
monotone has slight edge above arch while sharing all its features
and has the same license, but arch has a larger (or more active) user
base.

Monotone

Monotone is a project of Graydon Hoare, who is among the smartest and most tasteful software designers I have ever encountered. See the monotone page for a hint of how clean a revision control system can be: http://www.venge.net/monotone/

Even if you don't need a revision control system, it's worth studying for the beauty and spareness of the design and the code, and to learn more about the equally pleasing libraries that it depends on.

For what it's worth, I totally second this comment,
both about Monotone *and* about Graydon Hoare!
