I have used rcs, cvs, subversion, back to cvs, mercurial over the years,, and for some small things also sccs. All of it has been a pain here or there. Yes, the weave. Schily wants to provide real changeset support for sccs (tagging is real problem), i think. No, stashing, simply commiting something half-ready, amending, rebasing, and, very important, proper garbage collection of thrown away or otherwise useless stuff, i will never miss again. The only bad aspects is the lack of an automatically expanded, human readable version number that can be included in files, and that you cannot simply checkout, say, one directory, but only the entire repository. Its capability to work with shallow repositories has improved over the years, however. Nonetheless, i claim that for the maintainer of one or two ports/packages it is much nicer to use cvs, and only check out what really is of interest to you; than to checkout thousands of things that is.
