I fondly remember VMS and its versioning file system.  Every change was a 
revision and old versions were kept as default.  If I made lots of changes 
and the day turned out real bad, I could just go back in time.  That one 
feature of VMS more than made up for its interesting command line format.

I hear a versioning file system is in the works:
