Err. This would be suboptimal for a coding project, and perhaps
also for a writing project. Diffs between versions, keeping track of
change history, keeping different ending/plots variations going would
also make use of branches. Tagging a particular milestone, etc, all
fit better with what Steve suggested than just throwing tar/zip files
around.
Now, I do not have concrete suggestions beyond subversion, since
one of the requirements was windows support, and I have no idea which
source code management systems works well with windows.
