What are they doing teaching people how to use CVS? Don't they know that Subversion 1.0 finally came out today?
Actually, cervisia in Greek means "serving platter" (you know, the platter that holds the cake, or the tea).
Look here
Subversion is so obviously the way to go - it's CVS with all of its limitations removed.
tla is arch. I tried it out about six months ago, as I've always heard that it's good and was stable a long time ago, but when I actually tried it out myself, it was anything but stable. It didn't crash, but the documentation didn't match the binaries, the --help text didn't match what the program was doing, and the mailing list only wanted to talk about the unstable branch, which was far ahead of, and totally different to, the stable version that I was trying to get to work.
I've since heard that it's stablized a bit more, so it's on my list of things to try out again, and, to be fair, once I got it working, it seemed like a nice system, but the documentation and talk didn't match the reality, which really put me off it for a while.
Check out this very recent Slashdot thread. Subversion seems to be a very popular choice, and its availability on many platforms doesn't hurt either.
