You're kinda missing the point: this project is designed around a single user maintaining a linear history for a single file. Using it for a project would be a weird impedance mismatch.

That's not to say I find SRC compelling... in the slightest. Just that you'd never use SRC to track a project.

You're right, I was mostly just being snarky - but, that said, the source of SRC (sigh - what a terrible name, as others have said) is, in fact, just one Python file, so I suppose you could arguably use SRC for it.

I don't find it at all compelling either.

Hah. I just looked at the src (heh) - you're right, one file. I take back my argument.

If esr wants to fetishize a time when Real Programmers took patches over nntp and applied them in rcs, then by god he should go all in and self host the thing!

ESR is not the only contributor to SRC, check the log. So no, SRC would be the wrong tool.
