I'm using Arch on all my own projects and I think its great. Still needs
a little polish, but its improving really quickly. 

There is also a concerted effort going on to fix its current windows-
unfriendliness (issues with handling case-insensitive filesystems and
very long path names).

Have a look at cscvs:

    http://wiki.gnuarch.org/moin.cgi/cscvs

    "cscvs is a tool which implements an abstraction layer over CVS 
     constraining it to operations which have atomic changeset semantics. 
     If you need to maintain a project on both CVS and Arch, you should 
     really have a look at it."

I think Arch will work really well for the very highly distributed nature
of Wine development.
