I like CVS and/or Subversion.  People will say "putting stuff beyond
code in those is not their intention - that's just crazy."  But...it
provides me with a central home for things in my repository I have
projects for music, pictures, documents...everything

So if I'm working on one particular machine and need to get my
documents I just checkout my documents module.  Or I can checkout
documents/greg/neighborhood or something like that.

Works like a champ.  Subversion is probably better for this since it
does the binary diffs and more efficient diff checking/sending across
networks.  On the one hand it feels kind of weird having todo.txt at
revision number 1.57 but it's also nice to diff 1.57 and 1.1 and see
the things I _still_ haven't gotten to!
