We just made a selection of version control system at http://getnightingale.org, and Git isn't that great either (it's over-hyped). CVS does suck (and SVN does too for our purposes). But Git requires that users either use cygwin or install half a linux environment in Windows. Just because Git is coded by Linus, doesn't instantly make it a good product. In the case of Git, I REFUSE to force newbie windows developers who want to mess around with our project to be forced to install 2 linuxy environments, or have to integrate it into mozilla build (every other system is just a simple file you can add to path).

We settled with Mercurial, because hgweb isn't that memory intensive and our 512MB RAM prgmr VPS can handle it (although, we hope to upgrade the VPS, to allow more checkout's simultaneously). SVN/CVS also consume little ram on the server too though.

People who wish to make a selection should try them all out, and ask around. Because whilst Git users are very passionate about Git, I couldn't find a single one on IRC who had recently tried mercurial or Bazaar. Furthermore very few (if any) actively used Git in Windows

But that's just what I found. I didn't run proper benchmarks and things would be different if we had a better server (Loggerhead for bazaar wanted 2gb when running).

That was true, but is no longer. There is a Windows port of git called MSysGit available on google code: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ .

MsysGit is still a huge collection of random packages, many of which you don't need for other revision control systems. No it isn't cygwin, but you require 130mb of linux packages still to install it.

It's nowhere near self contained. Bzr,Hg,cvs,svn (and others), are just a small directory, and need none of those. MsysGit is overrated too. Usable yes, but ideal? Hardly..

Off topic, but I suggest you add some 'about' page to your website.

After clicking around for a couple of minutes the only thing I learned about it was that it has something to do with Songbird (which google tells me is a media player).

That's in progress still.. Voting on website designs still..
