I'm also frustrated with CVS and fond of Darcs but I do think it pays to be conservative with revision control. How about if some Darcs fan creates a Darcs mirror of SLIME CVS (e.g. on common-lisp.net) and we see how many people use it and how they like it.
There is already a slime repository on alioth: http://cl-debian.alioth.debian.org/repository/pvaneynd/slime/ and http://cl-debian.alioth.debian.org/repository/pvaneynd/slime-upstream/
it is used to coordinate the debian packaging.
So far darcs has been quite easy to use, with 2 reservations: - large changes sometimes make it loop. So sbcl for example is not imported into a sbcl-upstream darcs and then pulled into the sbcl debian package like one should do. Instead both are also CVS repositories and we update in place and record that as the 'new version'.
- sometimes I would pull a tagged version and some files are not there. I need to investigate this further as I think I misunderstood how to pull a certain tagged version of the tree.
