MPW 3.0 which will be available from APDA sometime this fall or so will have
source control management built in.  It keeps a single project database file
somewhere (on a local or TOPS or AppleShare volume) containing the project
layout, revision notes, and documents with deltas.  Life is much better
with a flavor of AppleTalk faster than LocalTalk when working off an AppleShare
volume.  It also features branching, command line and dialog (commando-style)
interface, subprojects, etc etc etc.

There is also a third party product which does source code management.  It is
advertised in the latest MacTutor and in the Dr Dobbs Macintosh supplement.
It apparently has some level of compatibility with OS/2 and VMS environments
and at first glance at the advertisement seems to have much the same
functionality of MPW 3.0 project management. Sorry I don't remember the details.

Disclaimer:  This is not an official endorsement of anything.  I am not on
the MPW team so details may vary with usage.
