I use Apache Subversion (merely for Android & web development, not exactly content writing) - either self-hosted or on client's Beanstalk or private GitHub accounts.

Just wanted to recommend my favorite clients; both of them are commercial, but affordable and definitely worth the money: Syntevo SmartSVN & SmartGit.

SmartGit supports SVN partially - but only a basic set of commands.
The downside might be that one can only compare plain-text files 1:1;
on any other files one can just see them something has changed.

With one file per chapter and some script which merges the plain-text chapters into one single file - with chapter-headings and page-numbers, maybe.

I wouldn't recommend TortoiseSVN - but that's probably just a personal thing - any VCS-client which got a full implementation of the command-set should do the job.
