Out of curiosity I did this and found that the default version control
system that gets invoked is rcs.
I wonder if this (default) is the best advice to a noob??
My impression is that rcs was superseded by cvs by svn by.. well... a
lot of competition!
This is a genuine question --- I'm familiar with many versioning
systems but not too good at any of them.

So what do most emacs-ers use?
