I started with CVS and soon after moved to SVN, which was quite an
improvement.  However, I recently learned git and would *never* go
back.  For starters, it's *much* faster than any other system.  The
use of branches is completely phenomenal.  And the ability to quickly
set up and host a repository for anyone with just some file copies to
any HTTP share is worth its weight in gold.
