I understand SCM preference, but this is probably the primary reason 
projects choose SVN or CVS over anything else. Your average contributor 
is going to be far more likely to know SVN or CVS than P4 or anything 
else. Also, direct tool support for those tends to be greater because 
they're 100% free and pervasive in the OSS community.

So the tradeoff for your SCM of preference (P4) is ease of contribution. 
If that's not as important, no problem. It would never work for JRuby, 
for example, where we have something like 20 external contributors 
throwing patches at us and even more running off trunk.
