Git has been used for all kinds of “backup” purposes. You could use it to version your GIS data, but since most of it will be binary you’ll be storing full copies of the file contents with each commit.

For KML and GML it would work as well as for source code…

Fixed – thanks. That’s what I “git” for using a fancy text edit widget instead of vim for composing blog posts.
