Light & Easy Revision control system: Is there any?

Im working on a small web-application project and I'd like to have somekinda revision control system. SVN and GIT feel a bit too massive and unnessecary. And the cloud services I know (google docs and dropbox) feels a bit dump for that purpouse. Anything between?

Am I a douche?

I like Dropbox lots.
It's useful for tons of things.
You should re-assess.

It's not the git and svn themselves that are weighty, its the tools your using with them. You don't need half the stuff git and svn have, but you dont need to know or use them to make use of those systems so keep them out of sight out of mind.

Well, I need to use somekinda cloud anyway so if I use GIT where Im going to create the repository -- Github is not free unless you want to share your jawesome supersecret program to whole world?

Any tips for repo-newb?

SVN is big.
It's not very fork-friendly.
Git outclasses it.

Git. Because your passwords should have passwords.

Git, because it doesn't force certain workflow on you (unlike SVN).

how about mecurial... its the one i actually found easy to use and its good for projects up to 12 people..

just install it.. select the directory in console and write HG_INIT

then all you need is hg_ADD
and HG_COMMIT

its supra nub friendly and easy

If you have SSH or SFTP access somewhere, you can use that for git, or just use something like dropbox

I can get you an account on dreamhost you can use if you like

i would also suggest mercurial or bazaar if you are a typical windows or mac user. if you are more the linux guy, then git would be the right thing i'd say. it is lightweight. it is even the most used SCM where something lightweight & SCM makes sense, like for example as backup solution for not too large and not too many text files.

Mercurial seemed really nice, although I already started working with git and dropbox.

msysgit seems pretty ok for windows.

Mercurial windows clients are pretty fail, fyi. On windows use svn. Tortoise outclasses everything else.
