An intelligent-merge, relatively new
DistributedVersionControl system. Arch imposes more structure on projects than do
ConcurrentVersionsSystem or
SubVersion; and the idea of distributed, peer-to-peer repositories with intelligent merges between them makes it a good choice for an
OpenSource project.
Many arch proponents feel it is fighting for
MindShare with
SubVersion. Where
SubVersion fixes only the worst nuisances of CVS, arch goes further in the way of making a general, scalable configuration management system.
A useful piece of information is that arch comes in two implementations, namely larch and tla, of which tla is the newer and better supported one. So, if you are searching for the software, better search for "tla" than "arch". (Arch as a name is both very
SearchEngineResistant and text-search resistant.)
