folders

I need to know what folder names are commonly used by Version Control systems. Many VCSs will create a hidden folder, usually in the top level of the source tree, to store the information that they use.

So far, I only know that Git uses .git/ and SVN uses .svn/.

What are the folder names that other popular VCSs use?
