11 I suggest good old RCS. Its small, simple, and easy to work with.
12
13 just emerge app-text/rcs then:
14
15 $ co -l .config
16 $ vi .config
17 $ ci -u .config
18
19 The revisions is kept as delta in a single file .config,v optionally
20 in a subdirecdory RCS if that exists, you can even have RCS be a
21 symlink to som other location if you like.
