I'm starting to think that one cannot legally use BitKeeper as the preferred means of developing a GPLed program. The problem is, the GPL defines the source as the preferred base to modify the software from and requires you to be able to distribute the source without any additional licensing requirements. If BitKeeper is the version management tool, then BitKeeper is part of the source by this definition. Providing the source in BK form without BK is as useless as providing it encrypted. Providing it in any other form does not satisfy the GPL (assuming that BK form is in fact the preferred way of modifying it).
