Wow. You should take a look at Mercurial. It is so easy to set up a
Mercurial repository for a local project - just
hg init # create a repository
hg st # show what will be checked in
<edit .hgignore to remove build artifacts, etc from the above>
hg add # mark new files as to be added
hg ci -m "Initial checkin" # the actual checkin

and voila! you have a version-controlled project!
