... and, in fact, that is what I do. It works great. I have all my
major configuration files under CVS on earth.backplane.com. You don't
have to put every file in the filesystem under CVS, you only put
the directories and configuration files in those directories under CVS
(making sure all the directories in which configuration files are placed
and their parent directories up to root have a CVS/ subdirectory).
CVS does not recurse past a directory without a CVS/ subdirectory so
doing a 'cvs commit' is instantanious pretty much.
It's amazing how well it works.
