So what happens when the darcs or mercurial project goes the way of CVS (that is: to bit-heaven)? How do you rescue your distributed repository from legacy-software-land?
Well, the Tailor project provides convertors between different repository formats, even some of the more obscure distributed VCSes. It seems to work in an all-at-once mode, rather than mirroring one live repository in other formats, but it does full history support, so...
There's no harm in picking a bizarre distributed version control system today, if the project stalls, you can always upgrade your repository to whichever system becomes mainstream!

This is a really high-quality image, dodging a trainwreck. (I suppose in principle, I'm also a fan of not getting hit with crashing trains!)
