[wp-hackers] Template revisioning system for WordPress

[Nivanka Fonseka]

Beau,

Yes that is some good point we have raised. Still I am not sure why
you suggest to version the entire theme, without just the file which
is edited.

Now when we normally do websites, we just keep versions of each and
every file, one by one. So why cant we use that logic here too?
