no version control (I'm the only person working on it),
That's not really a reason not to use version control. The
immediate benefits of using e.g. SVN to hold your source code:
-> "Unlimited Undo". Just change a source file and if you screw up,
check it out again.
-> "Automatic" backups. Every time you check in your sources,
they're saved in the repository. If that's on a second Mac in your
attic, someone can steal your main dev machine and you're up and
running again in no time anyway.
-> Easily sync with several Macs. If you have a desktop and a
notebook, you are just a check-out away from developing on your other
Mac.
-> Easily bugfix an older version even after you've started work on
that big version 2.0 rewrite... Just make a branch of the sources of
your ast release (i.e. copy a folder in SVN), fix it on that,
compile, test, release.
-> Access to your sources from elsewhere: If you have a
professionally hosted repository on the web, you can e.g. check out
your sources anywhere at WWDC. (Use VPN or so to make it safer)
-> More easily build release notes by peeking at your CVS log to see
what you changed.
You may want to reconsider whether version control might not help
you after all.
