You should consider svk.  The advantage it offers over CVS or subversion
is that it doesn't add any cruft to the checked-out version.  Consider
the problem of using cvs to manage /etc, for example: all directories
within /etc will have CVS subdirectories in them.  That means that you
have /etc/skel/CVS, which is a pest.  You could exclude /etc/skel from
cvs management but I'd say that skel files are actually important things
to monitor.
