I learned ssh tunneling for my current project. That is not particularly
significant because some project was first for every single tool,

I'll bet the same one wasn't first for an overwhelming number of them
at once, though. :)

Well, there was the day I switched from working on an NCR proprietary
operating system working on a UNIX-based operating system:

C, make, Bourne shell, C-shell, UUCP, UNIX e-mail, USENET, RCS, ed, vi,
emacs, find, grep, sort, awk, lpr, troff, ...

I felt like a kid in a candy store with so much fun stuff to learn.


I must have misinterpreted your comment "For a one-person project?
You're joking.". I read it as meaning you thought that revision
control is a joke for one-person projects, and wanted to make sure you
realize that it definitely isn't.

Consider that "small one-person project". It does sound like it could
have its uses for projects above a size threshold.


It is more a function of whether I need to refer back to previous
versions than program size. What would it cost me if I messed up a
change, and needed to scrap it? If I can just throw the program away,
fine, no revision control. If not, revision control.

The sample programs I write for answering messages in newsgroups usually
don't go under revision control, because if I messed up a change I could
throw the program away with zero cost.
