Bazaar is a distributed version control system.  You can branch
remotely-stored branches that you don't have write-access to, work on
your local branch, push your changes else where or back to the original
author, etc.  It can fetch from a simple HTTP server (no modules or
webdav needed) and push back to anything it can use to write files (alas
not HTTP PUT, however.)  I use sftp, which is built atop of SSH.  The
way Launchpad works is it only reads from CVS: it doesn't write to it.

It also does not require you to be connected to the internet to make
changes: you can commit to your local branch.  When you push to another
branch (such as one stored on a server) you get the opportunity to
merge.

Bazaar can directly branch from Subversion too (but not CVS, alas), so
if you wanted to do some disconnected work, you could do this:
        bzr branch svn://foo/bar
        <disconnect from internet>
        <edit some files>
        bzr commit -m "message"
        <edit some more>
        bzr commit -m "message"
        <connect to internet>
        bzr push svn://foo/bar

http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/bzr-0.9/tutorial.html has an excellent
tutorial that pretty much shows everything you'd need to know.
