Having said that, if you don't mind locking and you want something more stable than VSS, then ComponentSoftware RCS[1] is quite good. A trained monkey could set it up, and the single-user version is free. It has SCC integration, so you can use it directly from the likes of Visual Studio, Homesite, and anything else that supports SCC.

Same goes for Subversion. I think the company Sean's talking about is PushOK[2], who provide SCC proxies for CVS and Subversion. There's two independent projects out there to produce SCC proxies for Subversion. One of them that I can remember is Sourcecross[3], but that's gone very quiet. There's another one that I can't remember the name of (and Google isn't helping), but that one's moribund too.

TortoiseCVS and > TortoiseSVN are the popular ones I think (I didn't like them but, hey, > you can't please everyone). Both excellent tools, I think. I use TortoiseCVS for projects that I work on that are hosted on SourceForge.
