While we're on the topic, when should a lone developer bother to start using a VCS? At what point in the complexity of a project (say a hobby project, but a somewhat seriousish one, around ~5-9k LOC) is the added complexity of bringing a VCS into it worth it? I've been making changes to code and saving changes to the same files, but backing up on Dropbox, which keeps 30 days of previous saves. I've rarely had to resort to undoing code by calling up a previous save. I test each new change as it is made to see if it breaks anything (not automatic testing, though), and I don't collaborate with anyone else as yet.
