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.)
