Subversion is actually a good place to start since it does fairly advanced 
version control with a minimal learning curve. You can hire subversion hosting 
to make the server setup and maintenance easier and then use any number of GUI 
Subversion clients (or the Subversion command built into BBEdit) to interact 
with the server.

If I were just starting out with version control at this point I would 
definitely go with git. The learning curve is significantly steeper but the 
payoff can be inestimable as the one significant feature "lacking" in 
Subversion is implemented in overdrive in git.

In all fairness, though, there are only 2 times in the past 7 years that I can 
recall wishing I had been using git, but who knows how much better my code 
would be had I fully understood git and been able to take advantage of it.

I should also point out that just because you use git doesn't mean you need to 
use the advanced (complex) features. It works pretty well as a basic VCS too ;-)

My 2ยข.
