Wikipedia has a short list of revision control software:

It shows the reason why there may be some confusion about which system is best. There are 2 categories of revision systems; distributed, and client-server. Although SVN is a client-server system, it is starting to blur the line. For networks that are overly restrictive, such as some school boards, a distributed system may be more useful. Unfortunately most distributed systems do not handle binary very well (VI's) when using some of the convenient communication methods like e-mail. I will be doing a more extensive research, and will identify which works better for LabVIEW and FRC together.
Stay tuned.
