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.
