Version control for configuration files
Yesterday I wrote a post about setting up a Subversion server.
Subversion is a great tool for controlling versions of collections of files that are contained in a single root directory (an entire website, development of a software application, etc.). But it’s not the perfect tool for controlling the versions of single files.
So, after yesterday’s post, I now feel somewhat obliged to also document the system I use for controlling the versions of my configuration files.
