I'm guessing that the decision is mostly done, but I would suggest
taking a look at monotone -- seems to be a much lower learning curve
than git, though it does have the disadvantage that it needs to be run
in server mode to share datasets, as opposed to just throwing stuff up
onto a web server.  I've been using it for mozilla development for a
while now (just my own private repo; sadly, we can't yet switch away
from CVS in the near-term for the entire project).
