With current issues related to vcs load, I think CVS may have substantial advantages over Git (not sure for Subversion). Git is great for software where you always want to have the full tree updated, and often dig in commit logs and diffs. in this use case it's particularly nice to have whole repository locally. When you edit web pages, (0) you rarely need any history, and (1) in many cases, it's sufficient to have just one file (or one directory) updated. so fetching the full history is wasting the bandwidth and local storage (recent Git does support having less than full history locally, but the user has to know how to specify this in command line), and as far as I know updating a single file or checking out a single arbitrary directory is not supported at all.
