I have emailed some people who have shown allegiance to a specific DVCS to seeif they are willing to fill in the usage scenarios for me along with converting the dev FAQ so that we all have a clear way to learn how to use the things. If any of the people I emailed turn down being the leader fo ra specific DVCS I will email here looking for volunteers. Hey Brett! I'm missing a few points in your use case list: * Does the DVCS handle merges over file reneames, directory renames and file moves to another directory? I consider that a perk feature. OTOH, the lack of this is one of the things that piss me of most about subversion. It's really nice when you're in charge of your tool rather than the other way 'round!

I'm not saying it wouldn't be very nice to have, just I am as of this moment not going to toss a tool out the door because it doesn't do it better than svn.
