CVS is a bit inflexible with directories, so I prefer RCS. Eh? CVS is a *LOT* more flexible with directories. I keep all my configs in one central repository, which I co on different machines using CVS-over-[rs]sh. Then I just have a set of Makefiles in the CVS tree to install the configs to the system directories.
