Note that Perforce puts everything in a database and it's rock solid.

It's actually the other way around (about the everything-in-database bit, not the rock-solid bit). Snipped from http://www.perforce.com/perforce/technotes/note033.html:

The Perforce Server stores two kinds of data: versioned files, and metadata (changelists, opened files, labels, etc.). Both are stored in the Perforce Server's root directory. Versioned files are stored in depot subdirectories; there is one subdirectory for each depot in your Perforce installation. Metadata are stored in the Perforce database.
