As you probably already know, CVS is built upon RCS.  However, I don't
believe that it's necessarily more complex for the sort of
functionality a small project would entail.  Therefore if you are
selecting between the two, I'd say go for CVS.  The CVS homepage has
enough documentation to get you up and running in no time.

Be aware that there are a number of rather annoying misfeatures with the
RCS/CVS model, such as lack of support for renaming files.  There are
other free versioning systems which aim to correct the shortcomings of
CVS.  I don't have any experience with them myself, but if anyone else
here does, I'd like to hear some thoughts.

One CVS replacement I'm aware of is GNU Arch:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-arch/
Anyone used it?

Regards,
Tristan
