A version history is
not version control. SubVerison, Git, CVS, etc. do version control; a text file does not.
Plus, would you totally rely on one anyway? They're written by humans, and humans make mistakes. I've been burned by "bonus fixes" that went into products that I was testing that said "We fixed
this" but neglected to mention the other items they "fixed".
It's a good idea to have one (and I put one in my scripts), but if you're really concerned, the best history is gotten by diffing the code against the prior release.
