No, it was decidedly before my time¹. But you seem to be mixed up on the

versioning filesystem: heck, I'd love it if there wa
work for a while, make some progress, make a wrong turn,

"make some progress" and try a different turn.

Perhaps when I said "

git is a "standard tool" these days.
Perhaps.
But if the original file and all but the last save are in a version
