I can only echo what Katherine and Ian have said. I don't do any
development without CVS or Subversion.

We use CVS at work as you have to manually keep track of when you last
merged a branch into HEAD which is a pain. Having said that, Subversion
is much better at handling file renames (you can!)

At the end of the day though, it doesn't matter which version control
system you use, one day it will save your hide!
