arch-perl (and its frontends) has additional ones:

3. tracks the history of both files and directories (correctly)
4. workarounds almost all cases caused by arch bugs with import log
   (however there is no way to detect adding empty dir on import)
5. tries to do everything locally (f.e. "annotate" supports revlib and
   does not do slow "get-changeset REV" to extract diffs when possible;
   support for ~/.arch-cache (if present) will be added shortly too
6. support for "one_version", "no_continuation" and other options
7. support for tla and baz, >= 1.1
