Full free pretty much requires a CMS like Git. And in fact, that's my
biggest kick against it. A LOT of people hate mod marks, but I'm not
one of them. I like to be able to bring up source code and be able to
read through the historical changes in a particular routine.
As with everything, there are trade-offs. In a way, it's nice to see
*some* changes. But it can easily become a mess when people are afraid
to get rid of code.
I like to leave a wordy comment explaining changes and decisions and
rationales, and then have the code itself be clean and free from
baggage. I don't mind if these comments are many lines long. I'd
rather read a few paragraphs of clearly expressed thoughts than a
jumble of code with half a dozen sets of mod marks and lots of
commented-out code interspersed with live code.
