We're in the same boat, and have been for a few years.  Version control 
software can be complicated to use for distributed projects, but for small 
ones (less than 20 people in 6 different timezones, no need to reconcile 
lots of branches, etc) the advice I've read is to just pick one and go 
with it, ignoring most of the bells & whistles until you need them.  We 
expect to use git as soon as it gets through the bureaucracy here.

We've also found unit testing invaluable to our development, so get and 
use the RUnit package.  Regular use insures our code runs the way we 
expect and the way the customer expects, even after multiple edits and 
across R updates.  I've yet to find a way to integrate it into Eclipse, 
but it's still a fundamental part of our development.

Good luck finding a dependency checker; I'm sure one or more are out 
there.
