I've put up with CVS for collaborative projects, but I have found darcs
makes projects a lot more pleasant and productive. See:

http://darcs.net/DarcsWiki/WorkFlowsVsSubversion
and
http://darcs.net/DarcsWiki/SpontaneousBranches
(which I mostly wrote).

I see that PgFoundry allows ssh access. It would be easy to install a
private copy of darcs there, if is allowed.

Further, because darcs is distributed it is not fully necessary to have
a central server. Contributors can publish their own tree in personal
website, and/or use "darcs send" to email patches to others.

The "darcs pull" command allows you to specify multiple other repos at
once. So, if there were two other developers, you could update both
their contributions at once.

In summary, I would willing to collaborate via CVS, but I don't want to
give on the possibility of using darcs just yet.  However, the
collaboration actually happening, not the tool choice, is the main thing.

I'll go along with CVS if pursuing darcs more seems like too much hassle
to you.
