I thought about using rsync. However, rsync simply replaces old versions with new versions, thus not maintain a set of "fallback" versions. I was thinking that by using git, I could both have an annotated change control log and a "remote" backup. Two for the price of one, so to speak.

I would not say the alternative is stupid, but for personal backups, consider 'rsync' with "-u". The full range of flags I use is "-a -u -x -H -K -O -S" and lately also "--safe-links". Further, "-a" is a wrapper option meaning "archilve" that activates a half dozen other things. But I'll stop there. GIT is great, and may provide more of what you need. The per file "add" may be a feature you want, but is more than I could use. RSYNC works on USS. -- Rick Troth Senior Software Developer Velocity Software Inc.
