You may be right about Perforce or Subversion (though I doubt it), but the arch blurb I found sounds very similar to Bitkeeper.

It's not just similar. One of the reasons why Bitkeeper doesn't have its code available anymore is because they claimed that Arch was copying the internal mechanisms of Bitkeeper. I have seen both working and would definitely stick for Bitkeeper. OTOH, CVS is good enough, Bitkeeper is not free software, and that's not the place to discuss that .
