Clearly. I'm not saying GNU Arch is a bad RCS. Just that it's possible
to do better (and that a lot of people are actually working on doing
better).

Did you have a look at bzr?

I'm not yet 100% satisfied with it, and I didn't use it enough to
really judge, but it seems really promising.

(well who's better than who is a rather subjective question. I see a
real improvement in Bazaar compared to tla while you didn't for
example)
