That would be a great topic.  I would especially like to hear about how
you used Git.  Do you deal with any cross SCM issues?  I have found
git-svn works pretty well with subversions repositories but I can't seem
to find anything equivalent for Darcs.

Subversion was just an incremental improvement on RCS->CVS but probably
still the best for a purely centralized repository approach.

Not a problem as long as you also tell us what projects you used them
for, how long you used it and explained you preferred approach to source
management.
