I prefer CVS as an entire project "myproject" can be checked out with a
single command from anywhere on the Internet:
cvs -d %my-repository% co myproject
To merge any changes made by others in the entire project with a single
command:
cd myproject
cvs update
To checkin any changes I have made in the entire project:
cd myproject
cvs ci
CVS is open source, widely used, runs efficiently across the Internet, and
can be built for many different platforms. There is a lot more (concurrent
development, branching, etc.). As a starting point:

The downside is that the GUI interface is not quite as cute as VSS and other
commercial products. Since most of what I use is "cvs ci", "cvs update" and
"cvs diff", I have those commands wired to editor keys, so I don't care much
about the GUI :).
For a Windows GUI you would likely use WinCVS:

Subject: Source Code Manager for Java Applications
we are currently using Visual SourceSafe to manage the storage and archive
of our projects. However, it would be nice to have a source management
package more specifically designed for Java applications. One that would
make it easier to store and retrieve the directory structure of packages and
perhaps, be able to display the Javadoc without having to "Check out" the
files first.
Any thoughts?
