> CVS and SVN. The old and ugly ones.

In their respective times they were a big improvement. I believe CVS was the first client/server revision control system (why that feature was added was a horror story)

Never had a problem with SVN personally either. OpenBSD still uses CVS, for an entire operating system.

Which version control you use matters a lot less than having a sane development process.

Very much so. I remember jumping from RCS to CVS and it was a very positive change.

(RCS only worked on single files, moving to CVS allowed you to maintain a tree. Before RCS I was using SCCS!)
