There is no such thing as a project not complex enough to warrant a SCM/VCS. There's probably an argument that there is a case where a DVCS is unnecessary, but if you aren't actually doing distributed work there's no reason you need to be aware of more complexity in a DVCS than a non-D VCS.

I have a program I wrote that helps me straighten scanned images in bulk. It took maybe an hour to write because I did it in D and was not familiar with the language. Though I have used it for years now and made a few tweaks I have never felt the need to have it in any kind of source control.
