As someone who for years had "nightly backups and renamed files" as
his only VCS, I would advise beginners to pick up a VCS that they can
learn, master, and then use widely, not one that will be restricted to
solo work (forcing them to learn a different system when they join
some other project). There's no particular benefit in learning older
systems, is there? (I never learned CVS or SVN; my first is git, and
it's the only one I've used to any great extent.)

Oh, and rolling your own VCS can work in specific situations, but it's
probably going to work out a lot more efficient to use a well-known
one, even if it does have a learning curve. I have a few places where
I should probably migrate things to git.
