As I understand it, BitKeeper is indeed based on SCCS, and is a superset of it. 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.
