There's a Darcs mirror of the Linux kernel, but I don't think it includes versions (ie. it's not a true export from BitKeeper). http://darcs.net/linux.html The problem that Darcs has on repositories of this size is that to do its branching and merging magic, it needs to hold the whole codebase in memory at once. With the size of the Linux kernel, this reportedly requires about 300MB of real RAM and up to 700MB of virtual memory.
