[Klug-general] rsync woes, or, version control for web-developers?

[Mike Evans]

I'd agree with what Karl said for trivial projects - and it's what I do 
at home for little scripts and the like.  However for anything other 
than programs of a page or so of code I thoroughly recommend version 
control.  Which one you use on a single machine is pretty arbitrary.  I 
tend to use svn because I'm used to it - but git should work just as 
well.  This then solves the problem of "Oh bugger I seem to have messed 
it up about three weeks ago!  Hmm, now what changes did I make three 
weeks ago exactly?"  I surprise and embarrass myself with how frequently 
that happens.
