I know subversion wasn't on your list, but I'd also like to recommend 
it. I've only used CVS and SVN, but of those two I really like 
Subversion, specially with the ViewVC (used to be named ViewCVS) front 
end. The only downside to ViewVC is that it doesn't have an internal 
method of restricting access. To deal with that though a simple 
.htaccess file in the directory with viewvc.cgi works very well.

My $0.02. Please let us know what you decide on and what you think of it 
after you use it for a bit.
