All right, pick up a VAX/VMS or a PDP-11 with RX11 on it :-) They were
supporting file versioning but nowadays nobody concerns about usability and

Actually, as far as I remember there is a linux filesystem filter driver
that allows you to mount a CVS repositiry as a normal file system -- that
might do for you.
