We've had this discussion in the past: it makes no sense to "include" a VCS
in web2py (too many people have favorites).
It _can_ make sense to write a unified interface, so that you can "plug in"
your favorite VCS (and location of repository).
Once that is in place, it would be nice to version projects - but even so, I
would do this on-demand ("checkin").
This kind of editing "undo" is probably another layer of behavior, distinct
and different from what a VCS is for. If you look (for example) at
docs.google.com, when editing a file, auto-save is in effect for some time
period. If you look at your document's history, you can see a "session"
might have 4 or 5 (or more) saves, and inspecting each, you can see that
they grabbed something you were in the middle of.
I'm not sure we want / need to get that elaborate (or do we?).
Think about implementing a simple 'undo' mechanism first - something beyond
browser back, short of an auto-saved versioning system (which I think would
be too big a distraction for web2py).
