The same requirement led me to take a look at the various decentralized
version control systems. If you ever work on two machines or more, it's
definitely worth the try (but it's not a trivial effort, because you
have to choose among many competing systems).

As far as the jungle of decentralized SCM is concerned, that requirement
helps: it rules out most of them... For half a matter of technical
merits and half a matter of taste, I finally settled on Mercurial. It
has an Emacs extension (minor mode? I use Emacs for Lisp but I'm not
that familiar with it) and I think it runs under NT.

By the way, I'll try to track the versions of some of Edi's packages,
and if someone is interested, I could make a Mercurial repository
publicly available. If Mercurial is not your favourite VCS, I suppose
you could then use something like tailor to have your VCS populated from
the Mercurial repo...

Distributedly,
Pierre
