 I have several Linux machines, but let's focus for the time being on only
one machine.
On this machine I have several different configuration files for various
apps, tool, etc.
Each of this config file I would like to get versioned but these files must
remain in the origin location.
Maybe I used bazaar the wrong way, up to know I did an init in every
directory where a config file is located.
Therefore my question if I can have only one bzr directory.
Is it possible to just have one in /home/<user/.bzr and all config file
which are in the user space get managed through this .bzr?

Thanks for your help on this.
