Version control is addictive - once you get used to it, it's hard to go without, even on small temporary "pet" projects. You want to have a history of working versions to revert to if you get something totally messed up.
But what if you don't want to commit to your usual "official" repo and also don't bother to set up Assembla or something? Local repository comes to rescue!
If you are lucky to be on Mac it's a piece of cake to set up:
mkdir -p ~/repositories/svn
svnadmin create ~/repositories/svn/local
And then you can use file:///Users/yourname/repositories/svn/local as the SVN root for your projects. e.g. file:///Users/yourname/repositories/svn/local/MyProject
Win!
