Darcs looked cool, but if I recall correctly, it didn't seem sufficiently scalable at the time. But then again, our project at work is huge.

The Monotone developers have a great stress test, which I strongly recommend to other VC developers: the GCC CVS tree. It contains 20,000 files, 90,000 tree versions, and some completely insane number of branches. If you can import this tree, store it in a reasonable amount of disk space, and carry out day-to-day operations in a remotely efficient fashion, you're golden.

There's been this really great renaissance in open source version control lately, and I'm looking forward to future developments.
