I want to get a version control system (CVS, SVN, whatever) up and running for my project, Tract, so that people can download and upload copies of the source and for the system to keep track of changes by different people and possible forks of the project.

However, I have a problem: I know nothing about version control.

So basically, what I want to ask is this: what is the most simple version control solution out there, and how do I get started?

If you dont mind your project being completely public, use google project hosting. They provide SVN for you that's setup automatically. You just need to know how to use an SVN client, and there are tons of pages for that you can google for.

Well, considering how eager he is to have people helping he might be up to some ultra-publicness.

p.s. TortoiseSVN is a great Windows SVN client.  (If you don't mind stuff that integrates with the Windows Explorer rightclick.)

Been using www.assembla.com as a SVN for quite some time now, although always privately. You can put a workspace as public, I think, but I have no idea how it handles the SVN then.

And I use it in combination with TortoiseSVN (as mentioned above) which works pretty well.

I know dreamhost offers SVN services which I use to shuttle my info from school and back. I also use tortoise SVN, and it works marvelously.
