I vote subversion as well.

- Subversion is, for a lot of users, a lot easier to learn. It has
really well written documentation and provides several comparisons to
CVS. arch only seemed to get in the way of people. It's really a great
piece of software, but it seemed to disenchant a lot of people.
- Y-windows is going to have little need for a distributed repository.
There will be a few people working on it a lot (direct commit
privileges) and possibly a lot of people doing tiny bugfixes, which
can be made into patches and then submitted. Anyone who needs to do
any branching/merging or moving of files will probably have direct
commit access to the repository, so there is no need for arch's
patches that handle changes to directories.
- For what I've used subversion for it seems to fit the bill for the
Y-Windows project.

There's my two cents.
