If you can live with individual file commits use subversion through 
webdav with autorevisioning.  It will effectively give you a versioned 
filesystem that can be mounted without the need to install anything 
(i.e. use webfolders).  For people who don't want to think about 
versioning this can be good.  You can of course also access it though a 
subversion client which will give you the ability to revert changes or 
branch work and all the usual stuff.  You would need to investigate file 
locking though.  If you haven't allready seen there is a good book at 
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ which will give you all the details.
