I use CVS, so the proceedure is generally;
make a change,
rsync
test it,
fix it
rsync
test it again
fix it again
rsync
test it again
commit to cvs

So I tend not to worry about mucking things up. But since I need to do
an rsync or similar to test it, then the above suggestion would not work
for me.

Good idea though.
