We use CMS for source control.  There is an Rdb-driven front end that provides
things that CMS does not, like the concept of sequential streams, and automatic 
propagation through the streams.  For the most part, this system works well for us.

Notes is used to contain detailed information regarding a source checking.

Depending upon the complexity of the change, the detail can be a few pages.

That, of course, is in addition to the verbose edit history that most of our
compilation units contain.  When VSI started in 2014, it was very useful for me 
to review stuff I'd written 10+ years before, to remind myself about how certain
areas of the code worked, and why things were done in non-obvious ways.
