What's your defintion of efficient interaction?  If we want a fork with
our patches kept forever just pulling in something from bitkeeper could
make life a little easier because it's very good as merging.  But as
soon as you look at it from a two-way merging perspective any SCM will
suck badly if we start storing the whole tree.
