Interesting. I never realized that the user_views.text column did not contain the exact statement needed to recreate the view.

You may be able to get what you want from an export file. You can edit the dump file with a text editor, pull out the view creation command, tidy it up a bit (you have to do that by hand), save it in a new file, and then check that into your source control system.
