I just copy mine into my home directory's cvs checkout of my config files,
chown it and commit it. I should write a script to do that in one step though
:)
I have a CVS repository for all my stuff, for two reasons, one is having lost
work I've spent hours on (since the repository I've never needed to back up
a version for this reason though, although cvs up once saved my from hours of
rewriting pain), and the other is so I can stop manually keeping tarballs of
my own old work around.
Recently discovered tagging 'good' versions so I can try things out, although
most people considering branches my private work a tiny bit obsessive.
Mary.
