Quote:The second issue addressed is metadata. While there many not be simple way to keep the metadata associated with what you're writing, git is a very useful tool. While it's designed for software, it works with any kind of text. It tracks versions, keep a detailed history, and keeps everything in your project associated and portable.I use svn (Apache Subversion) myself -- have for a couple years now -- and it's just the most useful thing. In particular portability -- I have at least four different machines I write on, on different hardware and OSes, and there's an svn client for all of them that keeps them synchronized.
And never again will I suffer from a file that got lost or blown away and not noticed until well after all the alternate copies have been overwritten.
