Subversion
I’ve fallen in love with Subversion. Some time ago, I had a go at using another version control system (CVS), but I never managed to get the hang of it; it seemed more trouble than it was worth. But when I moved to TextDrive, I found that I had access to Subversion repositories, so I decided to see if I could get to grips with it.
The Subversion book proved invaluable, but it all seemed much simpler than CVS once I’d got the basic idea. I’m currently working on the next version of my GTD app, and it’s been wonderful to be able to hack away at it without worrying that I’m not going to be able to put things right again if my new feature turns out to be a gigantic mistake. As long as I make sure that the app is working properly (or at least that I know exactly what is working and what isn’t) each time I submit a commit, I have a reassuring safety net, and can experiment to my heart’s content.
It’s fantastic! I almost wish that I could have my whole life administered by Subversion so thatâin the likely event of a major mistake on my partâI could just svn revert to a previous, non-messed up version.

Lol. I've often wished for svn for life.
Subversion does rock.----- svn > *
I had to use CVS for a project briefly, and I'm very very thankful someone donated us SVN hosting.

do you still host with textdrive? I see they're rebranded as http://www.joyent.com/.
I'm looking to move an open source project to someplace where I can access TRACS and SVN.
If you're still with them - please let me know - their current webpage seems to bang on about their 'Connector' offering rather than saying they offer tracs and/or svn.
