I'm using GNU Arch for large amounts of C, C++, Python, Ocmal, plain text and LateX. I think Arch is the best thing since sliced bread. The ony problem is it doesn't like ms windows. It stores files in a really deep directory structure and its really easy to run into the limit of how long a pathname can be on windows. If you are Unix only Arch is well worth a look. Its a bit difficult to set up and get the hang of, but if you are not on windows, its well worth it.
