What is the crowd's opinion of CVS (Concurrent Versions System)?

It depends on the usecase. For some people, CVS is a better fit than either SVN or git, because it versions individual documents, rather than the whole project.

They need to be able to roll back to any previous version of a document, so what they're really looking for is version control, not backups.

This also gives a complete audit trail so they can tell who made the bonehead mistakes.

Something like cvs http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/ should work nicely.
