Sorry, Patrick, I should have replied to Jan's original email instead of to you.

Jan said he was using Subversion to sync documents between his
computers, but he hesitated at doing the same thing with his BBEdit
Prefs, for some reason.

Yes, Subversion is used for tracking changes to project files. I track
changes to web documents. Different developers can update their
projects from the central repository of data. Sounds like Alex and Jan
use Subversion ot update their computers from the central repository.
Very cool.

Alex, I look forwards to your results!
I would definitely recommend everything in Library/Application
Support/BBEdit. Keeping clippings up to date is a big deal for me.
For Preferences... am I correct that you would want both
 Library/Preferences/com.barebones.bbedit.plist
and
 Library/Preferences/com.barebones.bbedit.PreferenceData
?

Isn't Subversion for tracking changes to project files? Can it be
used as a syncing service?
Thanks,
Pat
