[pm-h] OT: Which Version Control System To Use?

[Paul Archer]

I've heard good things about Subversion, although I haven't used it myself. 
CVS is good, but may be more than you need, as it's designed for multiple 
users ("Concurrent" Versioning System). RCS is small and simple, and easy to 
incorporate into vim macros. It's what I use.
