Granted moving to it (or any other DVCS) would likely require that the
repository be split so that reactos, rosapps, etc., are all in their
own shared repositories, but I think that this is better than pulling
everything all at once anyway. You can pull subsets with Subversion,
but it's still a pain to mirror that way.
The big players ATM in DVCS are git and Bazaar, though. (And hg,
mentioned elsewhere in this thread, is also written in Python and so it
is just as portable as Bazaar is, though I don't know of terribly many
projects using it). If you switched to bzr, you'd get the nice
advantage of making it easy for Launchpad to mirror the repositories,
and making it easier for people who already use Launchpad and bzr for
hosting to contribute. Just a thought.
