If it's going to be a versioning system then you should rather consider something distributed (git, mercurial, bazaar, ...). I see no reason to use anything else these days. Have a look at etckeeper (by default using git), which also takes care of stuff like file permissions (especially important for /etc/password) which are usually not handled by VCS.
