I am using RCS currently for local configuration change management and I was 
thinking using Trac (with subversion server). Recently I found hg is much 
better candidate then subversion client.
hg is distributed by design. This fit the reality of system out of control 
easily, but for IT pursuing change management. Trac+hg server and hg client 
+ "cron update" can provide a better picture of what has been changed by a 
group of system administrators over time. following is my note about this 
adventure.
