The IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services tool is designed to manage models, syntax, files, outputs etc in a way that allows you also to kick off jobs, monitor results, handle workflows etc.  You can read about it here

There are many revision control systems around, each with its own strengths.  A lot depends on how distributed you need the system to be.  We use ClearCase internally, but that might well be overkill for your needs.  Subversion, Mercurial, Bazaar, GIT, ... are all popular.

I've been looking at various options for revision control of SPSS source
code files.  Anyone else have any experience with various tools like
subversion or bazaar?  Any recommendations for what works well in the SPSS
environment?

In our shop, there are only a handful of developers, generally working on
separate projects.  Thanks for any guidance or help you can provide.
