As Camm, I would be quite reluctant at using bitkeeper, as it is not
free software.

Tim, have you considered GNU Arch
(http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-arch/)?  It is very similar to
bitkeeper in spirit. It has a big developer community (well maintained?)
and, more importantly, it keeps modifications as change sets. It is also
free software.

Regarding your particular request, it works without central
repository. It allows developers to pull source tree from other
developers' source trees[1].

I've heard of very positive feedback from one of TeXmacs developer
(David Allouche) who uses it for daily work (no pun intented).


Yours,
d.
