I am about to select a version management system for my Mac and used

probably others.
I am a one person operation, don't contemplate multiple developers
and simply want to keep good track of development evolution. All of
these systems seem like overkill for me.
Does anyone know of something simple that is robust and works well?
Mercurial is one I use and like. It is simple to use and requires no
server. In many ways it is similar in concept to git, but what I've
heard is that it has less options, and therefore a shallower learning
curve.
Should the need arise at a later stage to collaborate with others, then
it is easy to move your change history to another location.
Experimentation is easy, as a clone of your project is very easy to
create. Merging good ideas back into your main tree works well.
Mercurial includes a web-server, which allows you to browse through your
change history.
The only downside at this moment that I can think of is the lack of
integration with BBEdit.
That said: don't start with CVS at this moment, there are far more
robust systems out there at this moment.
