What, you mean stuff I don't care about? Then why bother to sync it at all? Stuff I don't care about I, well, don't care about. (Which, actually, for me, is most things. I'm with Gregory here w/r/t Not Caring.) > doing your home directory might have other > consequences such as apearance and browser caching, as others have already > mentioned. I suppose I should have clarified this, that is, I meant putting > a directory under your home directory under revision control. For the files of some interest in a home directory, they have to _be_ in the home directory. Manually copying 'em up from some subdirectory is a pretty useless procedure. And if you make a link, well, then we're back to where we were. > If you did want to do revision control of your home directory, simply ommit ?! Omit? > ~/.* .

It wouldn't take long for me to fill up my svn (many > anime series take up ~7Gb) I wouldn't add everything anyway; every version-control system I have used has has let me mix version-controlled files and non-version-controlled files in the same directory, I'm sure SVN would allow the same sort of thing. -- _ |\_ \| -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
