Hello Richard,

you should probably have read the thread on the PostgreSQL -hackers 
mailing list I've linked to... at least you didn't make Tom's point ;-)

Most PostgreSQL developers currently want to stay with CVS. Only some 
desperate souls including myself are fiddling with other VCSes.

That's being debated, with many voices saying: CVS (plus our own 
hackery) provides all we need.  (And be warned again: as soon as you 
point out an advantage of your favourite VCS, you're making Tom's point. 
;-) )

How did you get that impression? I'm currently *using* monotone for 
Postgres-R development, doing cvs_import and propagating to my branch. 
And I know others did the same already, too.
