Related – anyone have experience in keeping a repository (SVN or GIT)
encrypted? I been wondering about keeping it on a Google Drive, without the
folks at Google, their NSA buddies and their Chinese rivals being able steal my
clever ideas.
(I would think there is nothing to interest them there, but the NSA policy
internally is it “Sniff it All, Store it All”).

WRT keeping DFMs as text to facilitate diffing, list members might not be aware
of Beyond Compare’s ability to diff binary DFMs. Once you configure something
like TortoiseSVN to use BC as your diff tool, it significantly reduces the
issue of binary vs text DFMs, among all the other niceties in BC3 such as 3-way
merging, etc.
I’m not particularly advocating keeping DFMs as binary, just throwing this out
there for those who may not be aware of it.
While I haven’t used Git, I concur with Jolyon’s initial comment that I don’t
think there’s anything specific to keep in mind about using Delphi with any one
particular VCS system.

There is nothing particularly noteworthy about using Delphi with Git that isn't
also applicable when using Delphi with any other version control system, such
as keeping keeping DFM files in text form rather than binary, to facilitate
diffíng etc etc. Other than that it is simply a question of the differences in
how you use Git as opposed to those other systems (e.g. in establishing files
or filetypes to be ignored for the purposes of versioning etc).
