Under "Alternatives to CVS": Subversion
<http://subversion.tigris.org/>

Subversion is currently self-hosting (they use Subversion to develop
Subversion) and, from what I've seen in using it, is mature enough to
use.

Subversion is being built as a replacement for CVS -- to overcome
many of the problems that CVS has (e.g. renaming files).

Subversion uses WebDAV as a transport mechanism. They've built an
Apache module to provide DeltaV support to the more conventional
mod_dav module.

Still, CVS benefits from maturity and wide-use: It is stable and
there are a lot of tools out there.
