Would be doable, but we need to keep this would require RCS on all boxes,
which is not a default on mh boxes.  Plus we would have to educate all in
RCS commands.   Copy commands from previous versions is a bit easier :)

The thinking was that if we didn't backup on every change, but only if we
haven't backed up recently, we could easily recover all but very recent
changes.
