My impression is that arch is pretty new.  I think it is written in sh
and awk.  For those two reason I would avoid it.

Bitkeeper isn't free software.  For me, that's enough to rule it out.
For me this is more important than whether Linus uses it, or whether
it is available for use with free software.

cvs isn't as bad as many people claim.  It has flaws, but they are
well known and don't regularly interfere with one's work.

You could always try subversion.  It might not be reliable enough yet.
This is the program I think will become the successor of cvs.
