No people don't! Consider the scenario where you have developed a nice
application and you want to sell it to different companies. As
Appengine is now, you can set up an appengine account for the company,
upload the application, and hand it over to them to administer and pay
for resource usage. You don't have to worry that they copy or mess
with your code.

So I'm dead against allowing admins to download the code in any shape
or form. Version control not only solves this problem, it solves so
many others that any developer who doesn't use it should be looking
for another job. And probably will be, after their first disk crash...

Sorry for ranting, but like Ikai, I'm dismayed how often this topic
comes up. If you're reading this and you don't have a version control
system, GET ONE NOW BEFORE YOU WRITE ANOTHER LINE OF CODE. You will
thank me a thousand times over your career.
