Superversion is a multi-user distributed version control system based on change sets. It aims to be an industrial-strength, open source alternative to commercial solutions that is equally easy to use (or even easier) and similarly powerful. In fact, intuitive and efficient usability has been one of the top priorities in Superversion's development from the very beginning.
If you're frustrated with CVS - as so many developers before you - and don't want to spend money on a version management software, try Superversion today! Superversion is ublished under the GPL and free to use even in commercial environments.
Here are some key features of "Superversion":
Very easy download, installation and setup in just a few clicks

Compressed diff view for every file accessible in just one click
Instant overview of all new/changed/deleted files in work area
Changes can be collected in a buffer before being committed to repository

Convenient selection of files and directories to be ignored
Marker system to assign human-readable labels to versions
