  • Sure, you could do that.

    Or your usage procedures could say that you run "diff" against all your files, and put the diffs in a certain subdirectories depending on the version and your user name, and zip 'em to save space. You could do it all manually.

    But the point of an SCM tool is that it does all that for you!

    Change sets come in really handy when someone comes along and says, "oh, that bug you fixed, we need that in release 1.23 also". Click the change set, merge it over to the other branch, done. (Unless of course the source has diverged a lot, in which case you're doomed no matter what.)
