Hmm... that presentation doesn't say it, but he's definitely mentioned
it in the past.

I cannot add enough +1 to this. Security procedure or no, managing more than a 
few servers without version control and software release management is asking 
for disaster.

It's an unobtrusive, simple way to track your changes without the
clutter of extraneous backup files. And you can easily keep remote
repository copies as well.

Yes, but we still usually recommend starting afresh each time. It
should relatively simple, just make a backup copy of each file you
edit, first.

NB it's often easier to remove all of the XML comments once you're in
production, so you can see the doc content more clearly.
