Version Control Blog

Xaprb takes on agile approach to version control, warning about the possibility that some non-obvious objects could sometimes be erroneously left out of it. This advice sometimes goes to the extreme, such as putting your backups under version control, but it’s a good idea to keep versioned at least init scripts, scheduled tasks and configuration files, in addition to usual code.
