AVR-Chat

Hi Chuck,

We've been very happy with good old CVS.  All of our AVR development projects, among many others, are under CVS control.  We do frequent backups of the repository, and the repo is composed of a simple directory structure of flat files so it is easy to do a complete backup to a thumb drive to carry with you for a little extra peace of mind.

It may not be the glitzyest thing out there, but it works well and is easy enough to use.

Give subversion a look as well, it's a bit more modern, but CVS works fine for us and make remote/shared development easy if/when you decide you need to support that.

-Brian
