At a conference (IIRC it was LISA in 2000) somebody had posted a joke to the bulletin board. It read: "Lost: one version control system, never used. If found, please return to Linus Torvalds"
Version control worked by posting your patches to the mailing list. Linus would apply your patches to his tree, which he'd occasionally tar up and upload to the mirrors.
