git makes it painless. At work, we use svn, which I've found makes it harder to try those crazy ideas, so I don't even bother (or if I do, I have to checkout the entire project in another directory, which takes forever due to the sheer size of the project, so again, I'm relunctant to do even that).

I usually wrap this up in small bash scripts at the root directory that "toggle" the switches. I call it "poor man's dvcs."
