backing up my repositories, anything special needed?

I agree in general, but that doesn't back up local modifications that  
haven't been checked into the repository yet.

I suppose a rejoinder to that is "check your changes in very often",  
but I prefer not to check things in until I hit some coherent  
milestone. Like, the project at least compiles and runs. And  
sometimes during big refactoring tasks I have spent days in a broken  
state...

OTOH, backing up just the "M" files would be a pretty easy task to do  
with a script, not subject to the race conditions of checking in the  
whole repository.
