I was a VMS user while I worked at UAA.

VMS's shell, DCL, supported (and in this case utilized) versioning.

$ show default
$my_path:[fnord]:
        history.txt;1 history.txt;2 history.txt;3

as an example.

$ type history.txt

would show the latest version, and you could always specific a rollback ver=
sion to use,
or copy from, if you'd effed up.

It was very clean and easy to use. That being said, I haven't used a Versi=
oningFS
since '95, so caveat emptor, etc...
