Well, reading from here:
http://arstechnica.com/etc/linux/index.html
I get this quote:
~ tla: Arch is a distributed source code management system. While
projects like Subversion aim to be a "better CVS," arch has a
different model (arch is the "protocol" as such, and tla is an
implementation of a client). tla's models revolve around many
developer branches diverging and later being merged back into a
single canonical branch, rather than many developers working off
the same branch. See http://www.gnuarch.org for more
information (as well as http://debrix.freedesktop.org).
So it sounds like at least the debrix portion of freedesktop (which I
believe includes X.org) is already using tla.
