I'm working with a small team that uses CVS and I'm I'm in charge of recommending more modern version control software. I've been learning git since it seems to be the new standard, but after reading this, I don't think we have the time it will take to learn it. Is there another open source vcs that would be a more natural upgrade to CVS?

Specifically for the requirement "Is there another open source vcs that would be a more natural upgrade to CVS": the answer is hands down Subversion for that requirement. If you want distributed or "more modern" but not git, perhaps Mercurial or Bazaar, but they're less prevalent choices.

Thank you! Subversion does seem like a great fit. Mercurial seems like it might be easier to use (Facebook uses their own customized version [1]), but we don't need distributed at this time.
