Actually I wrote a hack for this functionality myself about a year back;
it was simply a matter of rewriting the unlink() routine, so that not only
would it keep a copy of a file before being deleted, but also
keep several revisions of the file.
If interested, I'm sure I can dig up the code somewhere...
