Ray,
I've used CVS and it's pretty good. It takes a bit of understanding but there is
some decent documentation around as well as a good GUI for UNIX (tkCVS).
I've not done any scripting of it myself but there are plently of hooks into it
for your own bespoke bits.
As far as I'm aware you can move it from system to system quite easily, but I've
not done it myself. One slight problem is that when you've set up your
directory structure and added your files etc. it can be quite difficult and
take some work to change the directory names and/or structure.
BTW there's a new kid on the block now called SubVersion which is supposed to be
a replacement for CVS. I've not used it myself but a friend of mine who's a
software developer is now migrating all his stuff at work from CVS to
SubVersion. He thinks it's the best.
Cheers,
Chris
