I don't go quite so far as to keep my entire home directory under source control, but I do my configuration files, and for more or less the reason you mention: I have multiple computers I use on a regular basis, and I'd like for at least my user experience to be consistent. For the data/files, I think there are better methods of keeping things in sync. But when I make a new change to ~/.emacs or whatever, it sure is nice to just sync the local repository and not to have to remember exactly what change I made on that other machine. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
