See http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb.

As for personal experiences, we tried some things for LilyPond, and I 
have the following to add

 - I concur with Juliusz that using centralized VC today is a bad move

 - GIT: steep learning curve, but it also has a clear model that makes 
it very predictable to determine whether something is possible or not. 
There is also a lot of tool support.

 - darcs: a clear model from theoretical point of view, but we could 
never get the hang of the user interface, syncing was too slow for a 
serious project.
