would just like to mention Mercurial (HG), it's still alive and well and is often much easier to use. Pair it with BitBucket (again has some nice things github doesn't) with it's unlimited repos and a bunch of nice clients (if cli isn't your thing) makes Mercurial a great git alternative.

Both came around after Subversion, but git won the popularity contest for variety of reasons.

HG all the way for me!!! I used HG for my team for about 4+ years and only in the last year moved to GIT as my team merged with a larger group and GIT was the main used by all teams merged. I still love HG's simplicity and paired with BitBucket was awesome.
