Change sets make a difference.

Even more advanced version control systems (Accurev?)
integrate SCM with issue tracking, staff assignments, ...

Another nicety is when a VCS supports barriers in the

Cannot then commit changes to a release branch unless
Script (Source) = True.  (Or, can commit, but cannot
build a release archive if Script (Version) = False.)
