I'm going to go against pretty much everyone else in this thread and say "No."

Ruby, like most programming languages, keeps source code as plain text.
Most revision control tools work with plain text.

So I know of all kinds of good "revision control tools" (or "Source Control 
Management", if you like), but none specifically "for Ruby", in any sense. 
None of them are written in Ruby, and all of them will work equally well for 
any language which stores its source code as plain text.



That said, Rails recently moved from Subversion to Git. Since then, there 
seems to be a stampede of Ruby projects moving to Git, and all kinds of tiny 
projects hosted on Github.
