[e-lang] Source control for E?

[Dean Tribble]

It would be useful to get the E code under source control.  MarkM asked me
to seed a short discussion of options, both to determine which one to use
and because I want to find out if the situation has changed since I last
looked.

CVS: Open souce.  IDE support.  Poor branch support.  Poor label support.
Poor file moving/renaming.  Poor reliability (e.g., no atomicity).  Just say
no.

Subversion.  Open source.   IDE support.  Branches??  Labeles??  Moving??
Good atomicity?  A possibility.

Perforce.  Not open source, but can be used for open source for free.  IDE
support.  Excellent branch support.  Excellent label support.
Good-excellent file move support.  High reliability/performance. Less
familiar?  A possibility.

Darcs.  Wierd :-)

I'm on the fence about subversion vs. perforce.  I'm familiar with Perforce
and know that it can handle the project.  It requires runnign the server
though. Subversion may have "free" hosting sites.  Comments?  Other good
options?
