Version Control - the filesystem approach

Some operating systems have tried to help this problem with versioning filesystems. e.g.
-rw-r--r--   1 richard  richard   8172 Sep 19 16:53 simulation.f;7
-rw-r--r--   1 richard  richard   8172 Sep 19 16:53 simulation.f;6
-rw-r--r--   1 richard  richard   8156 Sep 19 14:38 simulation.f;5
-rw-r--r--   1 richard  richard   9312 Sep 17 12:01 simulation.f;4
-rw-r--r--   1 richard  richard   9320 Feb 21  2006 simulation.f;3
-rw-r--r--   1 richard  richard   8905 Sep 16  2005 simulation.f;2
-rw-r--r--   1 richard  richard   8678 Dec 13  2006 simulation.f;1
This was widely used in DEC's VMS operating system. Emulated versioning filesystems are available for Linux, but in general this doesn't work
