If you are developing software, you have to *know* your dependency chain. Choosing a dependency of "RedHat Enterprise Linux 4" gets you in massive trouble when something breaks.

The version control a piece of software was built with is usually not considered a dependency of the software, right? People who install Windows have no idea what MS uses for version control, for example.

Not for the *delivered* piece of software. The client doesn't care about your version control for obvious reasons (they should never see it).

Internally, you bet the version control is part of the dependencies. I know that an ISO 9000 certification depends upon it. I don't know if HIPAA (health care) demands it.
