Dotfiles

Keeping track of dotfiles has occasionally been painful; .bashrc on one host has some nifty bit that you like to use, but always forget to copy to another host. Networked home directories are helpful, but not when you want to have your dotfiles at home too! One of the typical examples for any version control system is checking your home directory dotfiles (or sometimes files in /etc) into version control, so you always have things to roll back to if you make a mistake. Another benefit is that you can check them out wherever you like, and always have access to the files. I've even added some logic which checks to see if there's newer versions in the repository every so often.
