I can easily believe SourceDepot is better than P4.  It's not just a 
copy of Perforce; they bought a code license for internal use and then 
set a team of very smart people to work updating it.  So it's got 
bugfixes and performance improvements that Perforce doesn't have (the NT 
codebase is a very good stress-tester for any revision control system).  
For a game, all we had to do was layer a GUI on top for the artists and 
SD worked great.

SourceDepot is crazy good.  I wish they would sell it, but I expect 
whatever deal they struck with the makers of Perforce precludes that.  
Too bad :(
