I keep all my GPX traces in a git repository:

    http://github.com/avar/gps

Then I have a script which finds out the traces I haven't uploaded already:

    http://github.com/avar/gps/blob/master/script/diff-gpx-directories

I don't edit my traces aside from the occasional start,stop limit I
place with GPSbabel to cut out chunks of them. I don't have any
privacy concerns with these traces (you can find out where I live
easily enough or bore yourself to death observing where I've bicycled)
 so I pretty much just upload them as-is and make them identifiable so
hopefully you'll be able to ignore them in your editor easily if one
of my occasional point clouds distracts you.
