Good good :)

Putting /etc under version control is what finally got me comfortable
enough with SVN to start our migration away from SOS/VSS. Originally, I
just created a local repository on the same machine to hold the
information, but now we have a central SVN server running in a Xen DomU.

One thing that I'm not sure of is how well things will work if we were
to rebuild the server. As long as we're backing up the .svn folders and
include them in the restore, things will probably work just fine.

Other then that, it meets our primary goal of having /etc and other
configuration files under version control.

I'm currently working on getting our remote web servers (at a data
center) to transmit their web/ftp log files to the central SVN server
over ssh. Since SVN is so efficient over the wire, I'm thinking that
I'm going to schedule a job every few hours (maybe as often as every
hour) that will do the add/commit. Basically using SVN as a fancy
rsync, but with full history and the source machine can't cover its tracks.
