If you are the only developer, RCS will do fine.  It'll also do fine for
multiple developers if you are happy to have only one person work on any
given file at once.

Personally, I prefer RCS to CVS even for multi-developer projects, as I've
had too many problems trying to merge multiple changes into the same code
at once.
