I am looking to implement a version control system on a new install of Gallery3. Has anybody used SVN, GIT, or others with success? Are there any issues with running a local development copy and pushing to a live site?

G3 uses GIT:

Thanks for the link floridave. I was able to find that information before posting.

I am mostly curious about GIT for a private site between a local copy or two server copies, live and development. Are there any strategies to make this process smooth? Do you sync all but the var folder? Are there hard links that need to be updated? Etc...

All I do is a 'git-pull' every once and a while. I don't know of anything special. No hard links. If your copy is much different it will warn you and you can just merge your changes from the dev to production.
