Version Control with GNU Arch

I have to add my voice to those who say arch is a poor command line tool in terms of usability. Having many years of experience with CVS, RCS, SCCS, Perforce, Clear Case, and other tools, and more recent experience with Subversion and BitKeeper, I think I went into evaluating arch with my eyes open.

I really liked the arch ideas, and wanted to like the program, but between bad docs, a somewhat confusing command line tool, and just too much configurable granularity for the simple use case, it seemed much more hassle than it was worth.
