Hi Tyler,
I have a similar setup.

On my system this is a git repository and a cron (or actually LaunchAgent since
I'm on OS X) does a =git commit -a <date-time-stamp>= every night. I also have
these variables set:
(setq org-directory "~/Documents/Org")
(setq org-agenda-files (quote ("~/Documents/Org/" "~/Dropbox/Org/")))

In my version of this, I have each project as its own git repository, where git
contains the Org file, other code, the manuscript, etc. I add any Org files to
my global agenda with =M-x org-agenda-file-to-front= and remove with = M-x
org-remove-file=.

That is only because it is easier to show that setup in the tutorial. You can
have Org files all over the place, and each can be added to the Agenda or not,
as you wish.
-k.
