I've come to conclude that version control is a *must* for org files, given the possibility of accidentally deleting whole trees. > I don't know how to deal with attachments. > Attachments, for me, are usually ephemeral and usually types of > documents I don't particularly like to deal with (typically MS Word or > PPT). I believe org-attach achieves this end admirably. When you use org-attach to "attach" a document to a headline, it will deposit the file (or, if you prefer, a link to the file) in a location defined by the variable org-attach-directory. The file and the headline are linked via a global id property. You can open the file from the heading to which it is attached by calling org-attach again. http://orgmode.org/manual/Attachments.html Obviously, if these files are ephemeral, you can leave the org-attach-directory outside of your version control system.
