Sure but that's not what we're talking about here. Basically I want to store my entire home directory in some kind of SCM, so I can a) easily backup and b) easily restore to a new machine. Or keep my files in sync between my 3 main computers. SCM would seem to be a good idea for such an application. Right now SCMs of any kind won't efficiently store OpenDocument files (many of which are going to be changing frequently). Since OD files are really encoded text under the hood, SCMs should be able to identify such files and generate efficient patchsets against them. OO.org may have built-in revision control, but that falls well outside the scope of what I'd ultimately like to do.
