I would whole heartedly agree that Apple’s versioning is not a replacement for code versioning systems and because I commit a lot during the day I don’t have much of any use case for Apple’s versions but as long as it this functionality were “in addition to” then I see no harm as it would provide the ability to move back and forth between recent versions of the file within the commit cycle. I have had situations where it would be nice to go back in time 4 hours to remind myself what the state of this file was then (assuming I haven’t committed these changes during the timeframe). So there is a use-case for it I think and if it’s easy to “turn on” then I think it would be better with than without but if there’s a lot of effort in making it work I personally think it would be a waste of time.

p.s. another use-case would be that people do use textmate for document processing (it’s a great markdown editor when paired with marked) … in this situation you might be back in the more individual (versus team) and non-developer workflows that Apple is primarily catering to

I agree.

Apple’s versioning system works fine for documents, spreadsheets and keynotes, but isn’t anywhere near as complete as what source code demands.
