Most of the open source community is already working with SVN (apache, xiph,
videolan).
I don't see any sense at all even to try evaluating anything other than svn
or cvs. 
Others are hardly known, and unless ffmpeg was a private project, there's no
meaning to make things difficult to incoming developers.
That's my point of view.
