Subversion?
All current CVS features.
CVS is good, as far as it goes, so we want to keep feature-compatibility:
versioning, folding of non-conflicting changes, detection of conflicting
changes, branching, merging, historical diffs, log messages, line-by-line
history (cvs annotate), etc.
Generally, Subversion's conceptual interface to a particular feature will
be as similar to CVS's as possible, except where there's a compelling
reason to do otherwise.
Commits are truly atomic.
No part of a commit takes effect until the entire commit has succeeded.
Revision numbers are per-commit, not per-file.

(Just kidding, of course.)
