*GNU Arch — the original
*Bazaar (software) — a friendly fork retaining compatibility with a nicer User interface.
*[http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/arx ArX] — started as a fork of GNU arch, but has been completely rewritten.
*[http://bazaar-ng.org/ Bazaar-NG] — inspired by Arch and being built from scratch in Python_programming_language.
=== Other innovative ===
Monotone (software) — full-decentralized in a P2P way.

[http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/cogito/ Cogito] — A more user-friendly interface to Git (software).
[http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/ Mercurial] — written in Python_programming_language
Codeville written in Python_programming_language — Uses an innovative merging algorithm.
DARCS written in the Haskell_programming_language language — Can keep track of inter-patch dependencies.
SVK is written in Perl — built on top of Subversion (software) to allow distributed commits.
Aegis (software) — mature software (but filesystem-oriented, poor Network Support)

== Software using a non-distributed approach ==
=== Widely used and accepted ===
Concurrent Versions System — very stable and built on Revision Control System — the most used but has many limitations.
Subversion (software) — like CVS but without some of its limitations.
=== Alternatives ===
Vesta (Software configuration management) — actually a build system with versioning file system, it has support for distributed repositories
