I should add: Distributed version control (Git and Mercurial) are
awesome both for supporting really, really big teams, and for just
being generally flexible (I can save multiple revisions without being
online!). However, they are not n00b-friendly at all.

If you don't want to spends hours and hours just learning how to use
the tools, learn Subversion (svn). You'll eventually need to use
Subversion whenever you have a group project, anyway. (Unless you're
willing to teach the rest of your team to use Git, because the
professor won't.)
