Hi all,

I'm looking for simple software to eliminate some of the headaches of
versioning, designed for a smallish team. I know of lots of software

I second Gerrit's suggestion.

2) The ability to backup each version that gets delivered, even if
there are pending, non-merged changes that other developers are working
on. We each have a laptop development machine, and very often work at
the customers' site, so we always work on a local copy of the project.

That would be a "Tag" in Subversion...

Therefore, it must be possible for one developer to work on one
independant module for any length of time, while other developers
continue making other changes and saving new versions.

.... and this is called a "Branch"

3) There must be some way to tap into the system programmatically, so
that we can integrate it with our own backup and version-management
tool. In other words, we need a tool to manage the merging versions,
not documenting changes or anything of that sort.

You can either use the command-line client or access the API (like
TortoiseSVN or RapidSVN do).
