We are planning to add subversion to the mix, just takes some time to
get the server and all stuff imported. cvs is definitely not an option
for the grimoire, as grimoire work involves quite some moving around,
which cvs can't handle. arch is quite powerful, but as long as its usage
stays as arcane and clumsy as it is now I wouldn't consider using it.
