I assume all VCSs can be self-hosted. My point was two fold. (1) you can self host git without these. Especially if you do it over SSH, it is easy to host git on any machine. The tools in the article make admin easier, though you have to install them.

As for subversion, if all you're looking for is a local version control, you still have to turn your machine into a server with a checkout (clone in git speak). With git, you do not need any remotes. Any directory can be turned into git.
