Yes, It would, but that's currently not a good option, at least as long
as code and data evolve together.  And, frankly, I prefer computers to
adapt to my style of working, not the other way around.

I did.  It's nice, but for my purposes, arch is even nicer.  Makes me
feel more efficient, but that may subjective.  Objectively, arch's
support for branching and merging is vastly superior.  It's so much
easier to move experimental code in a separate branch or to maintain a
stable and a development branch at the same time than with either CVS or
Subversion, it's simply awesome.
