Oh I don't disagree at all. Bitkeeper is a big improvement over what
existed before. But it is proprietary. Which other tool in the tool chain
is proprietary?
Heck, it's not even that proprietary. As far as I know I can still download
the source. But... looking at those files sitting in the Documentation
