Anyone using file versions for source CM are going to run into my
habit of enforcing per-directory version limits not more than 5.
And not have the advantages of a proper CM tool to track collections
horizontally or vertically through the directory tree and history.
Anyone relying on a source CM tool for what file versions do well
is going to run into "I didn't think I needed to save that version".
