What are you doing about partitioning public and private dotfiles? I'd
like to be able to check out public parts of my home directory (e.g.
.bashrc) onto any machine where I have an account, but private parts
(e.g. .fetchmailrc) only onto machines where I'm also root. So far I
haven't come up with a good way to do this, especially because symlinks
and Unix permissions aren't versioned yet.
The best I've come up with is a .hide directory for private things and a
(partially written) 'svnfix' script that sorts out symlinks and
permissions after each checkout based on some properties I set.
