If they scale to large numbers of changesets


      

    • 
If they have excellent merging


      

    • 
If they perform well with large datasets

Do they actually work?


    

    • 
Not on large projects yet but they are improving


      

    • 
There is almost 100 man years of effort in BitKeeper
