Very often I'm working on small projects only for myself. I'm working on one machine, but recently I thought about using some kind of version control nevertheless. This would have some benefits as for example:

  • I don't have to care anymore for local backup
  • Mistakes can easily made undone
  • History can be maintained

But on the other hand it has also some drawbacks like for example:

  • Additional resources required
  • Time to setup, get used to it, etc.

From your experience, is it a good thing to use revision control when your working alone?
