 -a <name> <file1> [<file2>...]   add config files to a program
 -f                               force overwriting conflicting files
 -h                               print this help list
 -o                               only pull/clone if $GIT_HOST is up
 -q                               quiet: only output errors, do not overwrite files
 -u <name>                        unlink all config files of a program
 -v                               increase verbosity of output

Initial setup:

Create a git repository somewhere (e.g., on github)
Either create $HOME/.set-up-configs file to set the following variables or fork this repository and edit the set-up-configs.sh file directly:
- Set variable $REPOSITORY, to reflect the location of your git repository
- Set variable $DOT, the local clone of your git repository (path relative to $HOME)
Add vim to git-repository and create symlinks in place of the original files:

     $ set-up-configs.sh -a vim .vimrc .vim/colors/summerfruit256.vim

Now go to your $DOT directory and commit the files
On other machines run set-up-configs.sh without arguments to: update and link config files from repository
Add all files in a subdirectory, for example "awesome" windowmanager themes:

     $ find .awesome/themes -type f -print0 | xargs -0 set-up-configs.sh -a awesome

Remove vim from repository and restore regular config files:

   $ set-up-configs.sh -u vim

The config files will remain in $REPOSITORY
The original config file locations (symlinks) are replaced with copies from $REPOSITORY.
Replace all config files with symlinks to git repository on new shell:

   $ set-up-configs.sh -f
