Yep:) To be fair, I expect git to be stored in git, mercurial to be in mercurial, and... Actually now I wonder how svn/cvs are developed/versioned.

SVN in SVN for sure, it's a well made product. The market just didn't like it's architecture/UX that doctates what features available.

CVS is not much different from copying files around, so would not be surprised if they copied the files around to mimic what CVS does. CVS revolutionized how we think of code versioning, so it's main contribution is to the processes, not the architecture/features.
