I would like to add to that.
Subversion works on my systems, it integrates nicely with Windows via 
Turtoise and with my Gnome Desktop, Eclipse (which I also use for AVR) 
and Komodo (perl/python).
It has a command line interface I understand. (since I used CVS before)
We should choose the tool that is best for the project, not the tool 
that is in fashion this week.

just my opinion,

Ps. For your info, SourceForge will be integrating Git in their system.
