bitkeeper looks like a good idea, but it's commercial and i do not
have monetary means available. aside, i could not find some sort of
evaluation, so i could not establish, whether bitkeeper would solve my
problems.

this is mainly the problem that i am trying to circumvent. if
permissions weren't a problem, CVS would suit me just fine, but i do
not want to go through the administrative and potentially erroneous
process of scripted messing with file permissions in bulk on
productive systems -- especially not because of the need of real-time
reconfiguration as files get added or permissions changed globally.
thanks though for your reply, and sorry for the long delay in
answering.
