It depends a bit on where those files are.
I know some people just do 'bzr init /etc' and add files within that.
That will just give you one .bzr in /etc, and nothing in
subdirectories.
For personal configuration files I have a .mbpconfig directory in my
home directory and I make symlinks into it for particular files I want
to version. I like this because it avoids accidentally adding things
I don't want to version and makes it easy to make exceptions for some
files on some machines. But you could just init your home directory.

I don't think the smartserver's particularly relevant to this.
