I do something very similar with subversion. I only use subversion because a) I started before git became popular and stable, and b) at least at the time, it handled binary files much better. By now it's inertia. I maintain separate subversion repos on separate servers for personal information (on a server I pay for) and for work projects (on work servers). I sync my dotfiles and projects across several dozen machines at work, and my personal files across several laptops and desktops at home. I've specifically coded my dotfiles to work across multiple machines / distros and os's, so I don't keep machine specific branches. -- Pat ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
