[elephant-devel] cvs vs svn vs darcs

[Robert L. Read]

Common-lisp.net, where elephant is hosted, offers SVN as a standard
service, 
and we might have to install and support darcs ourselves.

(Personally, I'll support whatever Ian decides.  I've tried to use Darcs
and subversion,
and can't really see enough of a difference with CVS to matter --- but
then I used CVS
in a job for a long time, so I am quite familiar with it.)
