Then I saw Rick Borup give a session about Mercurial and for the first time, I saw version control software that didn't seem like more trouble than it's worth.

It has more than paid for the time I invested in learning how to use it.

Well, at this point it would be solving a problem I don't have.
When I've solved all the problems that I do have, I'll take a look at it.
I often get messed when data structures change. I find that harder to control than code changes.
Right now, I make duplicate data dictionaries and use them to do my development and testing.
If I could find a tool to handle that more efficiently, It would interest me.
