I've found CVS very useful in keeping my source tree synchronized between
my Linux PC at home and Sparc workstation at work. Also using other tools
helps immeasurably, such as using the .gdbinit file, and .indent.pro for
gdb and indent respectively. Any new "features" are normally kept
encapsulated within their own source file and header files. Keeping the
CVS repository on a ZIP disk helps as well. Certain other tools such as
gprof and autoconf, I try to keep uniform on both systems.
