I know. I need a personal github.
git is free, and is usually installed on individual machines. It's
also easy to set up and use for a single user.
I prefer Mercurial (also known as hg). The Python core developers use it
for compiler development, and in my opinion, hg is easier to use than
git. (Although, in fairness, they're both pretty easy.) hg is cleaner
than git, being written in Python, while git is an unholy mess of C,
Perl and bash that will suck your brain out if you try to understand it,
unless you are Linus Torvalds. And there are some awesome hg tutorials
out there:

http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Tutorial
(I trust that everyone remembers enough high school chemistry to
understand why Mercurial is called hg? Hg is the chemical symbol for
Mercury.)
My comment was in response to github. I've never investigated
Mercurial. In various companies over the years, I've used probably a
dozen different source control systems, and git was the latest, and to
my thinking, best of them.
I also installed git on this machine a couple of days ago, so the
easy-start link was handy.
