I have to admit I never heard of RCS before you mentioned it, but sure is nice to know we passed them! :D This graph shows only git, subversion, cvs, and rcs, since the other ones don't really have any market share and just clutter the bottom of the graph.

It looks like a steady growth but I'm not sure we'll pass CVS before the "end of the world" in 2012. (Just picked the "end of the world" in 2012 as a random reference point since it's relatively close to now and most people have heard of that theory.)
