BitKeeper

BitKeeper uses history files that are based on the idea of the delta tables and interleaved deltas from SCCS but the BitKeeper history files are made intentionally incompatible by using a different magic number (0x01 0x48 instead of 0x01 0x68) at the beginning.

Source Code Control System

However, its file format is still used internally by a few other revision control programs, including BitKeeper and TeamWare.
