We began using CVS on top of RCS early this year.  It is available
from the comp.sources.misc (.unix?) archives.

I recommend it for supporting version control in a group environment
on large projects.  It allows each person to checkout a writeable
copy of the entire system, and has support tools for merging in
conflicting changes. (no flames please)

Anyway, Brian Berliner did a great job of designing this system.
I recall it was originally used by a software team to maintain
the source to a Unix system.
