The performance hit of SCCS has been "solved". There are several "significant" commercial users of BitKeeper waiting for the first production release, and Larry McVoy seems to be a bit of a maniac when it comes to things being production stable. He said that a CVS->BitKeeper conversion tool is not far off. I'm mostly interested in the "lines of development" features, the ability to check in various revisions of my *local* work, the ability to apply a patch set as an atomic unit, and several of the GUI tools.
