I'll throw my hat in the ring for Bazaar (http://bazaar-vcs.org/), which is another distributed version control system (much like git and mercurial). It makes it very easy both to stay synced up with a central online repository, and to do "local" commits when I'm offline -- or only making incremental changes that I'm not ready to commit to the central repository yet. FYI, this is done either with the command "commit --local," or by using the "unbind"/"bind" commands to disconnect/connect to the central repository.
Coming from CVS/SVN, I found it to be more intuitive than the other systems (particularly git), and there's a standard Mac DMG installer as well as great documentation on the web site.
