A short history of version control systems. It doesn't mention versioning file systems but maybe the author implicitly lumped them under manual systems.

I've used rcs in class and personal projects, bounced off sccs (horrid cli), wrote my own retrocomputer sc( under OS9 LII on the coco3), distributed stuff via mercerial(?), and I'm kind of forcing myself to use git...

@amoroso Apart from bitkeeper, I've used them all, plus mercurial and ... that borland thing, and whatever it was Ubuntu pushed back then... I'm old...

@amoroso subversion, actually, just because it was so forgiving.

gnutelephony,

@amoroso indeed, it skips over vms file versioning...

@gnutelephony And the versioned file systems of Lisp Machines and environments.
