I used to maintain a lot of tempo templates customized in my .emacs. These often contained $Id: $ keywords, which CVS would screw up. This was before I learnt how to stop that. In the end, I don't version my .emacs. It's almost entirely auto-generated anyway. I prefer to use numbered backups which happen automatically also. The handwritten part of my .emacs (main.el) is versioned.

I'm still prefer keeping most of my lisp out of .emacs and into subfiles in a ~/emacs directory. Horses for courses.
