They chose to built on top of SCCS, which in itself is nearly useless. Also he has some weird ideas about versioning which I certainly don't agree on. We use CVS at this moment, stepping towards BitKeeper from CVS is a step backwards. Eivind and me are trying to get a new version control system of the ground which will kick arse on several accounts.
