Two recent SCM you didn't list are

Subversion http://subversion.tigris.org/
GNU arch http://www.gnu.org/directory/arch.html

The former has recently reached version 1.0, the latter, 1.2.

Subversion is meant as the successor to CVS, without the
limitations of the original (the lack of support for directories
and symlinks, renaming, atomic commits, changesets, undo, etc.)

GNU arch is more powerful than Subversion, but also more
complex.

CVS became very popular because it was more or less the only
libre SCM allowing concurrent access. Now that better
alternatives are available, I expect that most CVS users will
gradually move to either Subversion or GNU arch. My employer (a
Unix ISV) plans to do so in the short term.
