SF also uses Subversion: https://sourceforge.net/docs/E09
I prefer SVN, only because when I started learning a VCS (both as a user
and admin) I chose SVN because it was new and a lot of people on the
intarwebs were talking about it. I like some of the features it has
over CVS, but CVS is still quite adequate and fairly flexible.
