Subversion Help – Books, Plugins, and Hosting
Subversion is the defacto open source source version control system these days and a great improvement over cvs. It’s also a steal at the ripe price of free.
Great (and also free) documentation is available here: Version Control with Subversion.
You can also buy the hardcopy from Amazon.
