Anyone used a distributed SCM like git and/or hg to backup or sync different $HOME directories? It would seem there is potential here to do something more convenient than with CVS and Subversion but not sure.
Slightly, but it still doesn't really map to what you want to do. It might be useful for things like config files, and various 'rc' scripts. I use 'unison' to synchronize configuration files and other working data. http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ It's kind of like a bi-directional rsync. It works best to use it in a star configuration where one machine or directories holds the central version, and when you move to a new machine, you always sync before and after making changes. It has support for resolving conflicts, but it is easier if you don't have to use it. Dave -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
