TortoiseCVS is nice, and I would like to see that kind of tool appear for darcs

I'll soon try to provide some details so those who are interested in can play with darcs in a non-committal way and use that experience to confirm whether you want to move that direction

[snip] Would SVN be something to consider? It still keeps the centralized repository but fixes some of the other stuff that is a problem with CVS The only reason I bring Subvesrion up is that it has some graphical clients (Seems like there is a Tortise SVN) and I've used it for my small projects and it seems to work fine for me

Yes, SVN is worth considering, for the reasons you mention I use it currently for a project myself However, I didn't mention it because I find because it tries to be fairly familiar for CVS users, it doesn't fix some key things about it

As far as I can tell, branching and merging is not a whole lot better, at least compared to darcs It's also not interactive like darcs is, which contributes heavily to it's Mac-like appeal

Once I set up a darcs play environment for a Dada-Mail archive, you can decide for yourself
