RCS is a very good version control system to start.
It can only manage correctly single files and only localy.
The others versions control systems are more complex but have of course
much more features like managing big set of files over remote access.
If you want to manage local files only, RCS is ok.
It is very well integrated with vc (see emacs manuel)
Personnaly, i use now mercurial with dvc, but also svn and for some local
files rcs.
