A distributed source code management system, with a simple command-line UI and precise merging.

Blurb from the Darcs website, http://darcs.net/:

Darcs is a free, open source source code management system.

Distributed

Every user has access to the full command set, removing boundaries between server and client or committer and non-committers.

Interactive

Darcs is easy to learn and efficient to use because it asks you questions in response to simple commands, giving you choices in your work flow. You can choose to record one change in a file, while ignoring another. As you update from upstream, you can review each patch name, even the full "diff" for interesting patches.

Smart

Originally developed by physicist David Roundy, darcs is based on a unique algebra of patches. This smartness lets you respond to changing demands in ways that would otherwise not be possible. For example, learn about spontaneous branches with darcs.

Merging with an ancestor of the current commit

How does merging in a previously-rejected idea from the same branch, work in various revision control systems? Which offer support for this? Here is my educated guess - is this summary accurate? Git and centralised VCSs: Presumably, you reverted the…
