Subversion (SVN) - Version Control System
Subversion is an Open Source Version Control System that was originally designed to be a better CVS, directories are versioned, copying, deleting, and renaming are versioned, free-form versioned metadata ("properties"), branching and tagging are cheap (constant time) operations and much more.

CVS - Concurrent Versions System
CVS is a version control system, an important component of Source Configuration Management (SCM). Using it, you can record the history of sources files, and documents. It fills a similar role to the free software RCS, PRCS, and Aegis packages.

CVS is a production quality system in wide use around the world, including many free software projects.


Mercurial - Distributed Cource Control Management Tool
"Mercurial is a free, distributed source control management tool. It efficiently handles projects of any size and offers an easy and intuitive interface."


TortoiseHg
"TortoiseHg is a Windows shell extension and a series of applications for the Mercurial distributed revision control system. It also includes a Gnome/Nautilus extension and a CLI wrapper application so the TortoiseHG tools can be used on non-Windows platforms."


Git - Open Source Version Control System
"Git is a free & open source, distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency."


TortoiseSVN - (Sub)Version Control Interface
"TortoiseSVN is an easy-to-use SCM / source control software for Microsoft Windows and possibly the best standalone Subversion client there is. It is implemented as a Windows shell extension, which makes it integrate seamlessly into the Windows explorer. Since its not an integration for a specific IDE you can use it with whatever development tools you like."


monotone - Free Distributed Version Control System
"monotone is a free distributed version control system. It provides a simple, single-file transactional version store, with fully disconnected operation and an efficient peer-to-peer synchronization protocol."


OpenCM Version Control System
"OpenCM is designed as a secure, high-integrity replacement for CVS. A list of the key features can be found on the features page. While not as "feature rich" as CVS, it supports some useful things that CVS lacks. Briefly, OpenCM provides first-class support for renames and configuration, cryptographic authentication and access control, and first-class branches."
