I had never thought of versions for Cron Scripts. Would be hectic to recover those in hindsight. Great Ideas. I had never thought of versions for Cron Scripts.

Because you'll eventually want to backup your repos. Backups in version control trigger an endless loop.

I agree with everything except the first one. For user related information, shouldn't we have database logs for that? Having sensitive information such as password (even hashed) in version control seems unnerving for me. Or do I just understand incorrectly? As for roles and default users, yes we do need that in version control as well. Version control or no, we still should have DR. Of course, thats another topic already. Oh, and BTW, nice CAPTCHA. :-) Errm…. I agree with everything except the first one. For user related information, shouldn’t we have database logs for that?

Why would you need to recover users from VC? If your system falls apart enough where you are restoring, you should restore from you nightly backup, not pre-populate from version control. You might have test/fixture data in vc to start a dev instance, but production data in vc is unneeded and unsafe. We're getting ready to go down the Sarbanes-Oxley path, and they would kick your ass up and down for doing that. You are confusing version control with backups and DR.
