Subversion

http://subversion.tigris.org/
The goal of the Subversion project is to build a version control system that is a compelling replacement for CVS. Its current features include:

-Most current CVS features
-Directories, renames, and file meta-data are versioned
-Commits are truly atomic
-Apache network server option, with WebDAV/DeltaV protocol
-Standalone server option
-Branching and tagging are cheap (constant time) operations
-Natively client/server, layered library design
-Client/server protocol sends diffs in both directions
-Costs are proportional to change size, not data size
-Efficient handling of binary files
-Parseable output
