In my versioned Resources directory I have a library of snippets, scripts, profile bits like places.sqlite for Firefox, and my .bash_profile (I make sym links to the files in the Resources directory). An extensive Icons directory, Maps, Patterns, Vector, and whatever else I experiment with.

At work we have an HTML/CSS Templates repository, and a Fonts repository.
It would be nice to integrate that in my overall Profile, but I don’t know how to do hierarchic stuff like that yet. Our first attempt at keeping a separate WordPress repository (linked to the source) nested in a project, it caused trouble and got nixed by a programmer.

So, with SVN you can make a truly portable bundle of data, your Design Profile. Much more interesting than hauling data around on a usb stick.
