why only "small, especially new" and "free"? I'd expect arch to be able
to handle *any* kind of software project. Personally, I'd sort some of the
ultra-large projects into the "nice-to-have" category, though.

I don't think an RCS should have any special knowledge about specific
applications. An RCS as such should be able to handle office stuff
or wikis or whatever as binary or maybe plain text files, nothing more.
Keep It Small & Simple.
An RCS *should* be extendable in a way that made it better at handling
specific file formats, e. g. by making the diff and merge algorithms
exchangable.
Bye,
Peter
