Hmmm...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but could it be that the members of this
mailing list are slightly inclined towards git?
Well, for good reasons. Since I discovered git, I don't think about
editing any file on my own hard disk without setting up a local git
repository. It's not a matter of collaboration anymore. It's the freedom
to hack without thinking twice, knowing I can undo anything I want. Even
if the thing I want to undo was committed a week ago, and a lot of
commits have been made since. It's that amazing freedom to tweak your
code or configuration file to death, and still nothing breaks.
If we're into using git through emails, git bundle is your friend. In
its laziest mode (git bundle create --all) all commits (in the current
branch, I believe, I always do this standing on "master") are packed
nicely and compressed. Just send the single bundle file through email to
the other participants, and they can fetch or pull from that file, as if
it was a remote repository. Quick and painless.
I think what we're all trying to say here, is that CVS, SVN or whatever
may do the job for you. But if you choose git, you'll have a great bonus
for your other future activities.
Have fun,
Eli

i never tested this but you can use email with git-am and git-format-patch
