Thanks, Adam, particularly for the reference to git-annex. While I don't currently have use for such a solution, I still see it as both very useful and certainly unorthodox. And turns out I must have heard of keeping a home directory under version control from Joey Hess, first...then David Blank-Edelman, later: I actually just pulled Linux Journal Issue 101 off of my bookshelf. :p Also, perhaps another way to phrase the question would be, "What are some clever hacks that you or others have employed with various VC solutions, particularly beyond the obvious versioning of frequently modified files such as configs, scripts, source code and documentation?" --Aaron _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
