1.  Create a repository for your project somewhere (we use a networked
file server for the repository, but just put it somewhere that is
somewhat secure, and will get backed up).

2.  Create an empty development folder for this project, on your local
machine.

3.  Check out the empty project from your fileserver, into your
development folder.

4.  Put all your existing project files into your development folder,
and commit them.

Now just work with your development folder as normal, committing
whenever you want to.  No copying files around.  If you have your cake
libs inside this development folder (like I do), then I suggest
excluding them from your own repository (add the libs to the "ignore
list").

Now, the only issue with this is that your development folder won't be
in your webserver document root (well, I doubt it will be).  Follow
this tutorial to use apache aliases to point into your development
folder
