	I store my ~/bin/ in arch, and a variety of what's in ~/prog.  Oh, and 
all of my dot files (.vimrc, .vim/ .emacs, .cshrc, .completions, 
.aliases).  Everything else is pretty much transient.

	For /etc, I use a shell script that uses RCS and deals with all of the 
changes automatically on a variety of systems.  It's terribly 
convenient when you're hacking around trying to get something done at 
three in the morning.  I get a report the next morning telling me what 
all I did.

	That's more of a reactive source control use than a proactive one.  I 
like it nice and automatic, though.  I forget its there until I get an 
email telling me something changed.

        Now, if I were building standard deployments, I might work differently.
