cvs is available for unixes (linux, cygwin) and also for Windows.
cvs allows concurrent versions, merging of changes from different
authors etc. An obvious limitation is that it only works on text
files -- but .tex and .ly are text files, of course.

One can maintain the CVS repository at a shared server machine.
In this case (or in all cases?) it is best to use ssh as the underlying
remote connection engine, and set CVS_RSH=ssh.

See, e.g:
For cvs: http://www.cvshome.org
For ssh: http://www.openssh.com or http://www.ssh.org

Both packages are generally bundled with Linux and Cygwin (but here
you must specify OpenSSH and CVS support at configure time).
