Actually I think subversion is the better option.  Basically a modern
version of cvs, but particularly it tracks directory MACs in revision
changesets.

Personally, I'd be very happy if we use svn-1.x as a "better CVS". I suggested CVS mainly because it's more widely deployed and understood (although svn is increasingly taking over this space).

Why would a read-mostly user need atomic commits? For changesets, something like mercurial would give more information, because it's able to represent branches and merges better.
