How about using Subversion?  There's already a fink package for it.  It's
designed to be the successor to CVS:

http://subversion.tigris.org/

I would think that a Subversion server would be less resource intensive on
the server than an rsync server, especially if people use rsync -c.

I'm a svn committer, so I'm just a little biased here :)

Best,
Blair
