===== Description =====

===== Current Implementation =====

===== SVN Implementation =====

Subversion is portable.  It's built on top of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library. XXX more to go here

===== Hg Implementation =====
Hg is very portable as it is 95% Python and 5% C for speed.  Hg also runs on Windows.

===== Git Implementation =====
git is mostly a collection of C and shell, and has been ported to just about everything.  There are a couple of tools in perl that may be of interest for the base system (which we would have to rewrite), a few in python that  won't be, and one in tk that is definitely out.  So, we shouldn't have any modula3-like issues, and should also be able to avoid bringing in any new scripting languages, including perl.

===== Monotone Implementation =====
**Supported**
(also see [[http://venge.net/monotone/wiki/FeaturePortable|monotone:FeaturePortable]])

[[/Monotone|Monotone]] is implemented in C++, and compiles and runs on all sorts of different kinds of Unix systems and Windows.  It is packaged in a number of linux distribution and packaging systems, as well as %%NetBSD%% pkgsrc which itself supports a number of different systems.

Its latest release is kept updated in the ports and currently requires ''%%devel/boost%%'', ''%%converters/libiconv%%'' and ''%%devel/gettext%%'' libraries to run.
