For me, source control doesn't address the same problem. I'm using
source control on my puppet files collection, but I periodically need
access to old versions intermediate between when I have now and what I
last committed. Except for Sun's old (and otherwise disastrous) NSE
and a small-company product called DRTS that I don't think exists any
more either, I haven't run into a version-control system that handles
that case decently.
