You say "*your* software". SVN is Open Source software. YOU have the
source code. So in an important way, SVN is already *your* software. It
is free and may already be installed on your computer if you have a
UNIX-like OS.

Documentation is free also.

And importantly because it is FREE, there is no sales or marketing
department so don't expect your inbox to get flooded by people trying to
sell you this. The best way to find out if SVN can work for you is to get
a copy and try it on a small project.

Other free software you might want to try is CVS and GIT.

http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/

More into on SVN is here
http://subversion.apache.org/
Notice the book with the turtles on it on the left side of the above linked
page. Read that.

Which to select of the various free systems depends several things, the
size of thyou projects, if they are all in one building or distributed and
what your users already know.
