Subversion seems like the obvious choice to me. It was created by
the same people that created CVS, and thus switching to it should
cause minimal disruption. It has cross platform support, and there
is a Subversion plugin for Eclipse. I have personally used
Subversion on a number of projects and have no complaints about it.
