Right, there was a golden age of interesting DVCSs around then - Darcs (2003), Monotone (2003), Bazaar (2005), Git (2005), Mercurial (2005), Fossil (2006).

I use Arch (2006) btw.




It shows how important having a big name behind a project is. Linux gave Git its momentum.


It's not just the big name -- Linus learned from the mistakes of the older DVCSs. I also used to use Arch a bit. Git was a vast improvement (eg. it didn't force you to use long ugly branch names).


If memory serves, DVCS were slow until Git came along
