On my home box I generally just put RCS directories under /etc and any
of its subdirectories where I modify files.  Then I use rcs (inside
emacs) to check in any changes I make.  I also use rcs in my homedir
for things like my .emacs and .muttrc files that change fairly
regularly.

Are there any advantages to use CVS for this kind of stuff?  All I can
think of is that it would let me store the files on separate
partitions.
