I would really encourage you to learn a version control system, regardless of whether you host your code with us or not. The basics of any version control system are really not that hard to learn and use. And, once you start, there's no reason to go back to non-versioned files, even for solo-projects.
Here's a free on-line book on using subversion. Just reading this chapter of it will get you pretty far: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.tour.html Or, see our support documentation: http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/ChoosingAVersionControlSystem Thanks, jason!
