So essentially, you decided to settle on GIT? That's a pity. For me Bazaar would have been the more natural
choice. It would have made my job much easier. However, this is your choice and I cannot influence it. I'm
curious, though, what SCMS other sub projects of Scintilla use, especially those that stay rather close
to the current development branch.

The CVS choice and this somewhat bigger change might raise the bar for me to follow the development of
Scintilla as close as I did so far. It might also produce more work for you when merging changes from the
Launchpad bzr repository back to the main branch. But, let's see how this works out in the end.

   Looks like the best choice currently from my point of view. I'd
like to wait another year for more maturity but staying with CVS would
lose history with the nulex changes.

   Its hard to tell because the developer sites introduced each VCS at
different times or have a preferred VCS so each site gives very
different proportions. From a rough check of SourceForge and Google
Code:

SourceForge
16 cvs
11 svn
2 git

Google Code
5 hg
6 svn

   A Launchpad search produced many hits but that included many hits
per project and, since Launchpad contains Ubuntu's own copies of
projects which are really hosted elsewhere its more work to filter
down to a list of projects. The distributed VCS sites like GitHub,
Gitorious, and Launchpad have lower barriers to entry so attract

https://launchpad.net/projects/+index?text=scintilla

5 projects.

And 4 on github.com, where one is just a copy of my scintilla cocoa bzr repo with only an initial import.
Though if purely judging from number of projects Subversion would make the winner (which I already have in
use too).
