One requirement for me to open ended support for files other than line
based text files.  It should support merging of xml files, for instance,
via a plug-in interface using a database similar to mailcap.

Another feature that I want to see implemented as an external policy is
keyword expansion.

And I would like the option to run both with and without a server
(workstation vs. service view); toying with idea of having a daemon that
shuts down after a configurable timeout.

Not sure about that, actually, but integration with my favorite editor
(vim) would be nice.

cvs forces a vendor branch on you and you cannot use tags which match
upstream versions (x.y.z is x-y-z or x_y_z).
