Oh, please, stop thinking BitKeeper is the best thing since sliced bread !!! I have never used BK. I just use CVS as client. I have not looked at SVN. BK sure surpasses every other SCM tool. But please, stop thinking about BK clones, BK features, all BK.
As I read in some posts in this thread, people is doing useful work on a free SCM. Could you all put your efforts on generating a list of features/requirements you would like for a SCM system specialized for kernel development, and send them to the developers, instead of arguing about legal impact of reverse-engineering BK. And let the developers think about protocols, work flow, ways to do things, and so on. They can find a way not even similiar to the BK one, and even better...
That way perhaps in one year you could suck data from BK and at least try a new system...
