This last point is the show-stopper for me.
I do not want to use some crappy SCM just so "we're free". Yes,
we have been looking for alternatives. And yes, this is another
reason to do so. But also, we have not really found anything yet.
For example, I would personally not like a system without a central
server, where
- You can only sync to somebody else's branch (though it could be
  yourscm://codex.sourcemage.org/release)
- There is no "push" command. I would NOT like to have to ssh to
  the main SCM branch server to pull my branch (on my box) into
  the server and patch everything up.
  I just want something where, as soon as I've modified a file to
  my liking, I can update "the repository file", so that everyone
  gets the update whenever they sync. And that function should be
  built-in to my SCM tool.
  [several other points ommitted for brevity]

So Far,
  Karsten
