For the programming geeks....

I just installed CVS, and I'm hideously confused already. Some of the things in here are counterintuitive, some of them are just totally arbitrary (such as "all versions start out as 1.1.1.1") and the documentation is not that great.

I wonder if I was better off just backing up my source code directory every time I went in to make a change....

RCS is probably all you really need for what it sounds like you're doing. Install it, then read the man pages for rcsintro, co, and ci.

Or take regular snapshots of the partition they're on. :-)
