Any form of real source control is a better setup than just using Dropbox. I happen to do Git+Dropbox right now, but anything will do.

Source control just provides lots of benefits for logging and rolling back and around. Git and Mercurial, as distributed version control systems, just happen to be easiest since you don't need to really setup a repository, and just have all the data on local disk. It really is practically free.

Go to your source directory now:

1. git init # makes the directory a git repository

2. git add . # adds everything in that directory

3. git commit # commits it
