Thanks for pointing this out, Tony. You're absolutely right. I probably didn't adequately explain how incredibly lazy I am (one "hg init" command vs. just 2-3 simple steps for a local Subversion repo).

Wow, CVS? Really? I did *not* expect to see that. But you're right. It's familiar and and it still works. I can certainly see it being useful in writing. And I like your use of Mantis... I do something similar with Redmine.

Also, thanks for sharing that link... that's a really nice rundown of choices for people with a writing focus.
