not having any particular one in mind, just one that behaves properly, git is not yet ready to be used as a general version control, as it has no proper user-facing api. Anyway, my setup for this task (not saying it is suckless, just that it works for me) involves: - a set of dirs for different file types (ie. dot/ for files which whilst linking will be prefixed with a dot, bin/ for compiled stuff) - makefile which does the hardlinking, compiling etc - a set of mercurial subrepos (ie, dwm is mercurial subrepo thanks to hg-git extension, and my own patchqueue for dwm is a subrepo parallel to dwm - makefile understands how to deal with them) All the editable files are getting hardlinked and dirs - ie. ~/.vim/ - are created. Binary files are copied. There is no automagical adding of dotfiles to the repo. -- Cheers, Łukasz Gruner
