I just started using a fantastic, free Mercurial client for Mac: MacHG 
(http://jasonfharris.com/machg/). Definitely watch the video.

It prompted me to really encourage anyone who is thinking about using 
version control to go ahead and do it. It is a great idea even for one 
developer working on a small project. It's much easier than it may appear to 
be.

My current setup is that I have a private project hosted for free on 
Bitbucket. I clone it to my Mac and do all of my editing in TextMate. Then I 
first clone the project on to my Ubuntu server at RackSpace Cloud. When I 
have done some development and want to roll it out, I ssh to my server and 
"hg pull; hg update". I have gone one step further and started to use Fabric 
so that I can issue the pull requests from my Mac terminal.

I really encourage this approach for anyone who is even slightly considering 
it.
