Due to some bug with kdepim and the way it corrupts its configuration on power 
failure (gnome-power manager wasn't hibernating my laptop on time, so I had to 
rebuild my Kmail configuration, accounts, transports, filters, folder tree 
proprieties, etc, 3 times, a real pain in the butt), I started using Bazaar to 
keep its settings just in case.

It seemed so nice that I made 3 bzr repos: one for /etc (I guess a simpler 
version of etckeeper), one for hand selected conf files on $HOME, and one for 
an encFS crypt personal documents dir.

Well, Olive-gtk can't really handle large amounts of documents on a branch, and 
there must be a memory leak somewhere on bzr add, because after adding some 
JPGs it starts eating all my RAM and SWAP (I have 4+8 GiBs). But then again bzr 
is not meant for binaries files, I guess.


The reason I'm emailing you guys and galls, is to ask if someone recommends any 
other Version Control System, that can suit my needs of safe guarding my confs 
as versioning, plus binary files.
AFAIK git aint that good, because each commit will store ALL files, and not 
just the updates.


Also it would be nice to see some tool result from this and be included into 
Jaunty. I remember reading about something called TimeMachine, but I have no 
idea how that is going.

Thanks for your time.
