No, it started as a glorified version of the "store a patch version between
versions while incrementing the version number" school of manual version
control.  However (crucially) it did a good job of keeping track of merges
and other version history, which is really why it's more useful that simply
making patch files yourself.

I dunno, maybe arch 2 is going more for the "glorified verison of cp -al"
method... :-/
