well yes, I never searched for a distributed VCS, thats why I never tried GNU Arch not so much (but I have to say, that it has hyper complex command line options, perhaps darcs might be better).
Furthermore I sadly have to admit that I don't know the exact difference between snapshot and changeset oriented. I just know that subversion has ~ Atomic comits and it works more than fine for me :)
Perhaps somebody can point me out to some Documentation about that (can be in PM and not to the list)
