[On Arch and Subversion]

Arch

Arch distinguishes itself from the CVS/subversion model of versioning control by the fact that there isn't a single repository: every checkout kinda of create a new local and almost independent repository. You can do version control even without (net) access to the main repository.

• [rhtymbox] uses it and has a [small introduction on how to use arch]. There are [IRC logs] explaining the whole thing.

  • http://sourcecontrol.net/~abentley/fai/
• http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-arch/ (has a nice tutorial)

SVK

[svk] is a decentralized version control system written in Perl. It uses the Subversion filesystem but provides additional, powerful features.
