I use Subversion, as it has a nice interface both on the command line, and
via KDESVN.  Also, I am sure Quanta4 will have built in support for SVN, and
probably git as well, since git is growing in popularity amongst KDE
developers.

I almost exclusively work alone, and even so, I won't write any code without
a version control system.  I even keep everything I write for college in the
Subversion repository.  It make it easy to work on things from any computer.
