Re: Do you log your changes?

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

When I have worked in regulated industries (DoD, DoE, FAA and FDA so far), it's 
been all three.

In unregulated commercial environments, usually high-level overviews and source 
management.  If the system doesn't automatically preserve incremental versions 
with check-in/outs, I upload them manually on a periodic basis.
