I think that there are two issues at play here, at least how I separate
them personally:

1) Sharing photos with family / friends etc
2) Backing up / saving photos you've taken

For #1, I just use a php-based gallery sharing software. I'm considering
integrating it with facebook logins a filtering to the friends / family I
want. That's a separate issue though :)

For #2, I've found that for my windows / mac microcosm (no linux), MSFT's
Live Sync works well and allows me to sync my 40 gb pictures folder across
three machines easily once past the initial sync. For that i usually just
use a laptop hdd converted into an external hdd through an enclosure and
copy things manually.

I think that for either of those use cases a version control system is
overkill (i guess unless you're a pro). I would recommend finding one
solution for backup / storage, and another for sharing (whether that is
google / facebook / live / ubuntu one etc)

My two cents :)
