bzr (http://bazaar-vcs.org/) can do the job easily, and has the  
advantage that it doesn't pollute the directory tree with its own  
junk. It use a .bzr directory in the root of its repo, and that's all.  
You can run commits automatically from a cron job, and push to a  
remote bzr repo for safekeeping and even synchronisation with other  
server.

Distributed revision control rocks. This is nothing like what you  
might've been exposed to with cvs/svn.


Cheers,
Arjen.
