I use cvs and it works fine and integrates well with emacs. It's worth
using pcl-cvs (which comes as standard with emacs 21, but no with 20)
as well as the VC stuff.

You can have a repository on a server somewhere, or if it's just for
your own use, use can keep the repository on the machine that you're
working on - that way you have access to your repository even if you
are sometime without access to your servers.

You can work perfectly well without permentant access to your
repository, but some of the things that are nice about using cvs won;t
be available when the repository is not available.
